Make a Connection
This program matches volunteers with a person living with dementia for regular, personalized visits, while also providing the caregiver with a much-needed break. Visits can be made by phone, online or even safely in person. Together you can talk, read, listen to music, play games, watch movies or even go on walks with your new friend…the connection goes on!
The Social at the Daisy Cafe

It features engaging activities, planned performances, and a chance for participants to socialize over coffee, tea, and treats. Volunteers are needed to help with the room set-up, serving tea and coffee, engaging in conversation with participants, and other tasks needed to facilitate the event.
