The members of Assistance League of Eugene offer friendship and entertainment to residents of long-term care facilities in the Eugene area. Caring and Sharing is one of the original projects of our chapter beginning in the mid 1970’s. These visits occur 3 times a month and often includes sing-a-longs. At special times of the year, the residents are encouraged to participate in celebrating St. Valentine’s Day, St Patrick’s Day, the 4th of July, Halloween and the holiday season. These get-togethers have become very special to both members and residents.

This project has served over 30,000 residents since its inception. Communicating with older seniors has been a very rewarding and fascinating experience. Everyone enjoys hearing about life at the turn of the twentieth century.
