Client Friend Testimonial

Linda

Linda was a young, single mother with very little. She was struggling to put food on the table and felt invisible and alone.

“Caring for Friends gave me more than food.
It gave me a reason to believe in tomorrow—
and the chance to help someone else.”
— Linda

“People want to volunteer and they want to do it locally,” Annemarie said.

From Struggle to Strength. From Receiving to Giving Back.

Linda was a young, single mother with very little. She was struggling to put food on the table and felt invisible and alone.

A Caring for Friends volunteer brought meals, a listening ear, and encouragement. That support gave Linda the strength to keep going and the hope to dream again.

By the 1980s, Linda’s life had changed—and so had her heart. She began volunteering with Caring for Friends, helping others just as someone once helped her.

“Caring for Friends gave me more than food.
It gave me a reason to believe in tomorrow—
and the chance to help someone else.”
