2018 Goals
1. We would like to provide another day of programming. Currently The Friendship Center is open on Tuesdays and Thursdays. For 2018 our goal is to also open on Wednesdays.
2. Expand our field trip program to provide more educational and cultural opportunities.

You can give securely on our website by clicking here or by mailing your check to the address below. You can also sign up for The Friendship Center newsletter or give on our website.
Finally, I would like to invite you to join us in person as we work to promote the mental, physical, and spiritual wellbeing of adults marginalized by mental health challenges and by poverty. When you see the work of The Friendship Center in person, you won’t soon forget it. Thank you so much for your support. 

Peace & Light,
