Grandparents Day is this Sunday, September 8th. We hope you'll consider supporting Connections at Home with a donation honoring or memorializing your grandparents. 100% of your donations will go directly to the technology and case management services provided to isolated seniors in your community. Thanks for your support!

As Grandparents Day approaches, we are reminded of the profound role that grandparents play in shaping the lives of their families and communities. It is a time to celebrate the wisdom, love, and guidance that grandparents provide to their grandchildren, leaving a legacy for generations to come.
