Adopt a Grandparent

What is Adopt a Grandparent?

Come help elderly residents feel cared for and loved. We visit nursing homes and assisted living centers on Saturday and Sunday. You will find some residents wanting to play card games like Uno and others who could just use a visit. We don't assign you to anyone and you are free to come as little or as often as you would like.

How do I get involved?

Come this Sat at 9:30 or Sun at 3:30 at Jamba Juice in the Wilk to carpool.

We visit and play games like Uno/ Skipbo/ Rummikub and chat with the residents. These events happen every week. While it is better to come to Jamba and carpool, you are welcome to meet us there. If you do have a car, we would greatly appreciate your help with transportation.
