Be a Friend to Someone with Dementia
AOS & Friends Care provides a variety of free services to the community including direct care grants, personalized music players, robo companion pets, resources, and education. In addition, we host a monthly Memory Café, in partnership with Thyme and Place Café. This provides a safe social outing for an individual experiencing memory impairment and their loved one.
During the past two years, we have seen steady growth and been honored to give to those in our immediate community. We have provided 27 direct care grants, 10 music players and 24 robo companion pets (to individuals and facilities).
We need your help to continue this important work.
We are hosting our annual fundraiser, Mums for Memory™, on September 20, but you can help now.
Helping is easy. We offer sponsorship opportunities and accept individual donations. Each $25 donation comes with a beautiful purple mum, grown locally at Green Haven Plant Farm and a listing on our Memory Wall Banner “in honor” or “in memory” of someone that has been personally touched by a dementia or related condition. Mums can be picked up at our event or delivered.
For more information please click here or download the event flyer here.
This is a cause near and dear to our hearts, and we truly hope you will consider being a sponsor or making an individual donation.
Thank you from the AOS & Friends Care, Inc. Board of Directors
