Generous Guild Shop Grant Given to The Gathering
The Seniors Ministry gratefully acknowledges a generous grant from The Guild Shop to support and grow the volunteer-run program, The Gathering, to help families dealing with dementia. For many years, The Gathering at St. John the Divine has offered a monthly half-day program of fun, laughter, activities, lunch and live entertainment to those with dementia, allowing their family members to either stay for the fun or have time to themselves for self-care. The Guild Shop grant will allow us to enhance and grow this program to accommodate more attendees.
