Exciting events for Caregivers—connection & support

Published about 2 years ago • 2 min read

Dear Reader,

Caregiving is an epic journey of love, sacrifice and exhaustion. That’s why we’re here to walk alongside those caring for aging parents or spouses, offering support, encouragement, and opportunities to recharge. We've got some incredible events coming up, and we'd love for you to join us!
​

1) New Faith-Based Support Group in Queen Creek

We're thrilled to announce the launch of a brand-new Makers of Care support group in Queen Creek (for women only), led by Pam Kavathas! Whether you’re seeking encouragement from God’s Word, a listening ear, practical advice, or connections with other caregivers, this community of resilience and resources is for you! The group will follow our proven Makers of Care curriculum. You can RSVP by hitting reply to this email.

This Saturday, September 14, 2024
10AM to 12PM*
Queen Creek Library in the Erma Bombeck Room
​21802 S. Ellsworth Rd, Queen Creek, AZ 85142​

2) Praise in the Park Event

Get ready for a day of joy, music, and community! Makers of Care will be at the Queen Creek Praise in the Park event, and we’d love to meet you in person. We’ll have tents for shade and two tables. Bring a lawn chair and picnic (or stop by one of the vendors—Portillo's, Torchy's Tacos, Freedom Coffee Co) and spend time with us. Learn about what Makers of Care offers and sign up for support groups, workshops and our new Give Me a Break respite program. Click here for details about the event on Facebook.

3) Give Me a Break Respite Program
​Getting a break isn't a luxury for Caregivers, it is a lifeline!

Caregiving is hard work, and we believe you deserve a break! Our innovative Give Me a Break respite program (in partnership with a grant provided by AZ Complete Health) is launching soon to give family Caregivers the rest and relief they need. More details will be coming your way, so keep an eye on your inbox!

We hope to see you at these upcoming events!

Let’s connect, share, and support each other on this caregiving journey. You are not alone—Makers of Care is here for you every step of the way.

We see you, we hear you, we care.

The Church Was Meant to Be a Family—Not a Club Somewhere along the way, the church started looking more like the world—divided by age, interests, and life stages. Youth groups over here.

A Story of Impact A few weeks ago, we partnered with Redemption Tempe church during a Serve Day to bring help and hope to 17 caregivers and seniors in need. One participant, a woman whose husband is in a care facility, needed help with tasks she could no longer manage independently. But what truly lit up her heart wasn’t the completed chores—it was the kindness of the two men who visited her.
