Friendship isn’t automatic. It doesn’t just appear because people have good intentions. It takes planning, patience, staff, space, and people who choose to show up.

At Circle of Friends, friendship looks like a participant being greeted by name.
It looks like programs designed so everyone can fully take part.
It looks like friendships forming where they might not have elsewhere.

None of that happens by chance.

Your year-end gift isn’t just a donation.
It’s what turns intention into action.
It’s what helps us open our doors again tomorrow, next month, and into the new year.

Because friendship doesn’t happen by chance.
It happens because of YOU!
