Service Opportunity Anchor Place Respite - Many Ways to Help
Starting next week, Anchor Place plans to be open two days a week - Monday and Thursday from 10-2 - and offer a range of activities plus lunch for $55/day.
There are ways we can all help with this organization as it welcomes older adults living with mild-to-moderate memory issues and other cognitive challenges, and gives their caretakers a few hours each week to rest and recharge. For starters, we can spread the word about this resource. In addition, Anchor Place is looking for:
Golf umbrellas
Poker chips
Small costume pieces - like hats and masks
Magazines from the 50s, 60s and 70s
A small printer
A first aid kit (very specific need - contact Anchor Place if you'd like to buy this)
Scholarships - to be sure Anchor Place can offer respite to those who might not otherwise afford it.
