We have always celebrated the extraordinary talents of our staff and residents! Today, they unveiled their remarkable gifts, some surprising, at our spectacular New Year's Eve Talent and Variety Show. The electrifying performances included singing, Ukulele players, spoken word, and a magical visit from the Pied Piper himself, all dazzling a packed audience! A fun mini countdown then paved the way to welcoming 2026! Heartfelt gratitude to all participants and organizers of this fabulous event!

The holidays at Friends Homes are always something special. ✨
From festive outings and joyful gatherings to wonderful food shared around the table, the season is full of wonderful moments. Christmas lights twinkle throughout our community, Hanukkah parties bring warmth and tradition, and every celebration—big or small—adds to the spirit of the season.
But more than the decorations or the delicious meals, what truly makes the holidays meaningful here is the time spent together. Laughing, reminiscing, and simply being present with friends who have become family—that’s the greatest gift of all.
At Friends Homes, the holidays aren’t just celebrated. They’re shared, together. Happy Holidays to all…and to all a good night.

The Pub Club had another festive outing to Little Brother Brewing during their Little St. Nick Pop Up. The brewery was transformed with sparkling lights and holiday décor, where our friends sipped themed seasonal drinks. Afterwards, we stepped across the street to grab a bite from Natty Greene’s, a great local favorite, where we dined on everything from burgers and nachos to fish and salads. What a festive evening!

The Bake and Craft Sale at Friends Homes was a wonderful success! Guests enjoyed browsing an inviting array of handmade items, perfect for gift-giving to friends and family—or as a special treat for themselves. The sale also featured an irresistible selection of homemade baked goods that delighted everyone with a love for sweets and treats.

All monies raised benefited the Friends Homes Resident Assistance Fund, helping to support our residents in need. Thank you to everyone who contributed, volunteered, and attended to make this event so wonderful!
