Friendship Center Spring Campaign

Every day, Friendship Center has the privilege of welcoming individuals who hold a multitude of roles in your lives – mothers, fathers, spouses, grandparents, former teachers or coaches, and dear friends– into our charming space. These individuals, our “roses,” grace our day program activities with their presence, enriching our days with their wisdom, humor and hugs. Frank, can you imagine the joy of spending over 120 hours a month in the company of such cherished companions?!

The time spent with our program members, which also serves as a much needed respite break for their caregivers, is not only necessary to their wellbeing but it is also an opportunity for us to nurture the flourishing garden that is Friendship Center. Within our beautiful Eucalyptus Lane courtyard, amidst laughter and shared moments, joy takes root and blossoms. Even in the face of some of life’s greatest challenges, Friendship Center remains a sanctuary where joy continues to thrive.

Allow me to share the heartfelt words of a spouse, whose journey with Friendship Center spans nearly two decades:

The loving words of someone who has experienced Friendship Center through caring for his father and, now, for his beautiful wife bear testament to the transformative power of belonging to our community. Frank, with your support, we can ensure that more individuals like Mary experience the boundless joy and sense of belonging that Friendship Center provides.

In honor of the 48 years of nurturing joy-filled connections and the countless more to come, I invite you to join us in our Spring Campaign. Our goal of raising $25,000 will subsidize membership costs for adults living with dementia, allowing them to be a part of this garden that is shown the highest level of dignified care and compassion.

Frank, can you make a gift to Friendship Center to enable more older and dependent adults in our community to experience joy regardless of financial limitations?

In recognition of your generosity, benefactors to our Spring Campaign are invited to a special celebration on Tuesday, June 11th and will be acknowledged on our campaign website.

Please consider a gift to Friendship Center this spring:

• Make a gift online in honor of a Friendship Center member or supporting our programs

• Contribute to Friendship Center by sending a check to 89 Eucalyptus Lane, Santa Barbara, CA 93108

Joy Grows at Friendship Center because of YOU!On behalf of our staff, we thank you, Frank for your generous partnership and support. Together, let us sow the seeds of compassion and understanding, ensuring that no one is deprived of the opportunity to flourish.
