Adopt a Grandparent

What is Adopt a Grandparent?

We provide and facilitate opportunities for intergenerational friendships in order to expand our volunteers’ abilities to understand, empathize, and relate to those of another demographic, especially one that is often overlooked. We seek to serve as the Savior did by helping to “succor the weak, lift up the hands which hang down, and strengthen the feeble knees” (D&C 81:5) of those in local nursing and assisted living facilities.
