💛 Right now, your gift to Friends for Life can go twice as far.

Every day, Friends for Life helps seniors and people with disabilities live as independently as possible — through programs that provide support, connection, transportation, food, life skills, guardianship services, and so much more.

And right now, a generous donor is matching donations dollar for dollar, up to $100,000!

That means a $25 gift becomes $50. A $100 gift becomes $200. A $500 gift becomes $1,000.

Our goal is to raise the full $100,000 so we can unlock every dollar of this incredible matching gift.

💛 Give today and double your impact. Help us unlock the full $100,000 match!
