Client Friend Testimonial
Minnie
Blind, homebound and without food, Minnie became the first client Rita served. Rita shared a meal with Minnie and realized that no one should be hungry or alone. Minnie’s story inspired the founding of Aid For Friends.
“Rita didn’t just bring me food. She brought love.”
— Minnie
“People want to volunteer and they want to do it locally,” Annemarie said.
The Beginning of a Lifelong Mission
Minnie was the very first friend Rita helped. A homebound senior, she was hungry, lonely, and forgotten by the world.
Rita brought her a meal—and something even more important: friendship, dignity, and hope.
From that simple act of kindness, a mission was born. Today, Caring for Friends continues that mission every day, reaching thousands of seniors just like Minnie.
“Rita didn’t just bring me food.
She brought love.”
