Giving is Good
CentraCare -
Caring for Health Services
Safe, effective, thorough health care is one of the most essential services True Friends provides throughout all programs. Many important elements, including staffing, supplies, equipment, health centers,
record-keeping, and care-giving contribute to this major operation.
This year True Friends is fortunate to have the support of the CentraCare Foundation! Their grant is helping our healthcare department purchase new equipment and improve health services. Many thanks to this returning supporter, the CentraCare Foundation.
