Mission Statement
Friends is committed to the intention that all seniors in Gwinnett have the opportunity to be active and visible participants in their community and experience a healthy, safe, and fulfilling life in the home setting of their choice with access to transportation, health care, good nutrition, and assistance in their homes.
Who We Are
Since 1999, Friends has been raising funds to support services like home-delivered meals and medical transportation for seniors in Gwinnett County.
Events
There are many ways to help raise funds for seniors - from participating in fundraising events to shopping on AmazonSmile and with Kroger Community Reward dollars - your daily life can help us out.
