Friendship Adult Day Care Center in Santa Barbara — The Friendly Finch: April

March was a month of exciting growth here at Friendship Center!

We welcomed several new faces to our incredible team, bringing us to nearly 25 staff members strong. And the momentum doesn’t stop there— we’ve just completed the second month of offering our new transportation service, and we’re two weeks into offering programs at the Carpinteria Healthy Aging Hub!

These new offerings are a direct response to what you, our families and community, have told us you need. We’re building not just with our hearts, but with intention and care—because we believe in doing what works, and doing it with love.

Friendship Adult Day Care Center — This week’s feature: LIVE auction packages – Wine Down Tomorrow, September 14th (4-7)

Friendship Center is looking forward to our 11th Annual Wine Down to be held Thursday, September 14th, 2023, from 4 to 7pm outdoors at our Montecito Center’s courtyard. This delicious and delightful event brings us together to enjoy an evening of great local wines and beer, along with hearty hors d’oeuvres and live music, all for a good cause!

The funds raised from Wine Down benefit Friendship Center’s daily programs offering social, physical, emotional and cognitive stimulation to dependent adults and seniors. These programs, which include music, art, educational offerings and excursions, are uniquely designed to honor and celebrate the remarkable life stories of our Center’s members. Let’s come together, raise our glasses, and elevate lives through the magic of togetherness and giving.

Friendship Adult Day Care Center in Santa Barbara — A Message From Heidi Holly — Spring Appeal 2023

Our beautiful city of Santa Barbara has recently been quenched with abundant rains, and spring pokes through the mantle of soil with colorful new life. With Mother’s Day on the horizon, it is a perfect time to reflect on the nurturers in our lives, whether they be past or present. In the spirit of connectedness, we can express our gratitude for the motherly figures who provided love, care, food, support and guidance. Won’t you please consider a gift to Friendship Center in honor of your mother, which benefits the elderly mothers we care for here every day?
