Volunteers Needed to Lead Dementia Caregivers' Support Groups (in collaboration with First Presbyterian Church): We are seeking dedicated volunteers to become facilitators for a new community-wide monthly Dementia Caregiver Support Group at FPC, starting in October. As a facilitator, you’ll support caregivers by guiding discussions and providing encouragement—just one to two hours of your time each month.



Interested? Attend our facilitator training workshop at FPC on Friday, September 12, from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm. The training will be led by Carolyn Berry, Program Director at Alzheimer's Arkansas.

Additionally, St. Paul’s Episcopal Church will host a similar support group and will be participating in this training. We welcome community members from all backgrounds—this opportunity is open to those interested in supporting dementia caregivers.

Help us spread the word and make a difference! For more details, contact Paulette Freeman at 318-617-6282 or via email at DementiaResources2025@gmail.com. Join us in supporting those caring for family members or friends with dementia.

Blessing Box/Nursing Home Items: We are collecting personal care items for nursing homes as well as items for the blessing box! Ideas for the nursing home- lotion, Kleenex (travel size), warm fuzzy socks, small throw blankets, wipes, etc. Ideas about what to donate for the Blessing Box? Rice Krispie treats, pop tarts, ramen noodles, fruit snacks, granola bars or chips work! Thank you! 😊
