About
We Believe in the
Power of Community
Caregiving for loved ones is an all-in, often draining endeavor. As caregivers ourselves, we understand how essential it is to step away—even briefly—and how powerful it can be to do so in a supportive community.
Meet and Mingle Club provides free respite events that give caregivers time to rest, recharge, and connect. While loved ones are cared for in a safe, welcoming environment.
We are excited to be partnering with Fair Haven Church where caregivers are invited to take join the Caregiver Support Group where they can build meaningful connections with others who understand the caregiving journey. Or take some much needed time to get out and enjoy a break.
Our respite events serve to bridge a critical gap in Western Michigan, especially in underserved and vulnerable communities. All events are free and open to caregivers, because access to rest and support should never be a barrier.
