Exciting events for Caregivers—connection & support

Published about 1 month ago • 2 min read

Dear Reader,

Caregiving is an epic journey of love, sacrifice and exhaustion. That’s why we’re here to walk alongside those caring for aging parents or spouses, offering support, encouragement, and opportunities to recharge. We've got some incredible events coming up, and we'd love for you to join us!
​

1) New Faith-Based Support Group in Queen Creek

We're thrilled to announce the launch of a brand-new Makers of Care support group in Queen Creek (for women only), led by Pam Kavathas! Whether you’re seeking encouragement from God’s Word, a listening ear, practical advice, or connections with other caregivers, this community of resilience and resources is for you! The group will follow our proven Makers of Care curriculum. You can RSVP by hitting reply to this email.

This Saturday, September 14, 2024

2) Praise in the Park Event

Get ready for a day of joy, music, and community! Makers of Care will be at the Queen Creek Praise in the Park event, and we’d love to meet you in person. We’ll have tents for shade and two tables. Bring a lawn chair and picnic (or stop by one of the vendors—Portillo's, Torchy's Tacos, Freedom Coffee Co) and spend time with us. Learn about what Makers of Care offers and sign up for support groups, workshops and our new Give Me a Break respite program. Click here for details about the event on Facebook.

3) Give Me a Break Respite Program
​Getting a break isn't a luxury for Caregivers, it is a lifeline!

Caregiving is hard work, and we believe you deserve a break! Our innovative Give Me a Break respite program (in partnership with a grant provided by AZ Complete Health) is launching soon to give family Caregivers the rest and relief they need. More details will be coming your way, so keep an eye on your inbox!
