Ending Elder Isolation. Creating Connections.
Our mission is to reduce social isolation, enhance the quality of life, & preserve the dignity of older adults.

When you see #fireWorks this July 4th, or enjoying a cookout with #friends, think of #FriendshipWorks and invite a neighbor or someone in your community that might need the social connection. In observance of the holiday, FriendshipWorks will be closed July 3 & 4.
