Whirlwind 2025 Delivers Inspiration and Insight

Respite for All’s Whirlwind 2025 annual training conference was a jam-packed 72 hours of information and inspiration that put the wind in our sails for serving our friends living with dementia. It began on Sunday, March 2, with a check-in of attendees from 17 states of people leading, launching or planning Respite for All ministries.


Teams from 39 Respite for All communities from such far-ranging locations as Sequim, WA, to Pleasantville, NY, to Mill Valley, CA, to The Villages, FL, to Houston, TX, came to Canterbury United Methodist Church in Birmingham, where their hard-working team hosted our first conference outside of Montgomery. Combined with 160 registered attendees and more than 80 Canterbury volunteers, the conference was rocking! We also premiered our new documentary, and we'll tell you more about that soon! Stay tuned!

#52 Opens in Huntsville

Oasis Respite Care opened on March 11 at First Baptist Church in Huntsville, Alabama, as the first Respite for All community in that city, and we are so thankful to expand this model to the northern part of the state. With 80 trained volunteers and 16 participants, they're off to a strong start!

New Look, Same Vision

We've updated our logo with a fresh palette of colors! It features three hearts on sprigs of rosemary to represent the love of the volunteer, the love of the care partner, and the love for our friends living with dementia. Rosemary is an herb that has long been associated with memory and has been the basis of the Respite for All logo from the beginning.

Save the Date

We’re making plans now for another exciting Brain Science Luncheon. Please mark Thursday, October 9 on your calendar, and we’ll share more details later this spring. 

The mission of the Respite for All Foundation is to inspire, grow, and mentor Volunteer Respite Ministries for communities seeking to minister to persons living with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia disorders through education and shared best practices.
