Friends of Seniors
Who We Are & What We Do
Friends of Seniors is an active ministry of crafters who have been creating “tokens of love” for the forgotten, lonely, and elderly in our community for over 27 years. Using our artistic talents, we design heartfelt gifts that bring warmth and smiles to those who receive them across seven holidays each year. If you love crafting, collaborating, and bringing joy to others, we welcome you!
Why We Exist
“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” —Ephesians 2:10. We exist because too many elderly individuals in our community feel forgotten and alone, and we want them to know they are loved. So, we use our creativity and craftsmanship, to share God’s love, transforming our artistry into gifts that offer warmth, comfort, and connection to those who need it most.
Who We Serve
We minister to over 900 elderly residents in local Medicare facilities, 200+ retired religious, and those supported by St. Ann’s Pastoral Care outreach. This ministry is solely funded by individual donations and contributions.
Volunteer Opportunities
We need talented crafters who can work with hot glue, intricate paper cutting and folding, detailed project assembly, acrylic painting, and other fine crafting skills. Hands-on meetings are held on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month, where we bring ideas to life and collaborate on new creations. Volunteers are also encouraged to contribute ideas for future projects
Special Requirements
This ministry is for adults only. If you have a passion for crafting and a heart for service, come share your gifts with us and see how the Lord will transform you as you bring joy to others!
