Friendship Walks, Friendship Talks, that’s why FriendshipWorks.
The 6th annual Walk to End Elder Isolation: A Virtual Gathering will take place on Sunday, May 16 at 10am. And, this year, we’re making it even easier to get donations, build a team, and ask for support to help keep FriendshipWorks programs around for another 36 years!
Throughout 2020, FriendshipWorks remained open and very active thanks to creative program
adaptations by volunteers and staff, and in partnership with area agencies and our supporters. This has enabled FriendshipWorks to ensure a continuity of connection between older adults and their
volunteers in all of our programs since the pandemic began in March 2020.

The Companion provides a venue for intergenerational, interreligious reflections on faith and aging. It is our hope that the contents of this newsletter will bring you a sense of spiritual companionship while we all continue to adapt to physical distancing measures that may keep us from our churches, mosques, temples, meditation groups and prayer meetings.
We at FriendshipWorks have been heartened by the incredible ongoing work of our volunteers, the resiliency of our elders, and the contributions of our religious partners. We are overjoyed to share with you these reflections; as always, we welcome your feedback and support.
