Friendship Haven

We've seen over and over that there’s something special about the way little ones and older adults connect. You can see it right away.

We’re honored that the Fort Dodge Play & Learn Center chose Friendship Haven as a stop for their Play & Learn with Grand-Friends series.

This multi-generational music class brings children and aging adults together for music, movement, and shared moments. It’s simple, and it matters.

Join us next Monday from 10:00 to 11:00 am. Spots are limited, but they are free!

Many thanks to Fort Dodge Firefighters Local 622 for coming by yesterday. It was such a treat for so many of our residents, especially the Gartons, who have a special connection to Engine 5. We had a great time pretending to put out fires, touring all of the parts of the truck, and meeting the guys. Carol in particular really enjoyed feeling a little closer to her brother, who was a firefighter.

Our community went years without fireworks.
Last year, we brought them back.
And we're doing it again.
