Fristers

🎃👻 Calling all fun-loving individuals and groups! We'd love to invite you to host a Trick or Treat table at our annual Pumpkin Patch event for Fristers families on Saturday, October 19th from 11am-2pm!

Volunteers are encouraged to choose a theme (nothing too spooky!), decorate a 6' table, dress up, and bring some candy to give out.

If hosting a table isn’t possible, you can still join the fun by dropping off delicious baked goods like cookies or cupcakes! 🍪🧁

Interested? Email Abbie at [email protected] to learn more and sign up to volunteer! 💜

Our Celebration Gala is tonight! We're so grateful to everyone who offered a helping hand to make it possible. ❤

Every week at Fristers, we share a meal with our families, giving us a chance to connect and enjoy some quality time together. We're looking for a little help to keep these moments going! ✨

Could you provide dinner for one of our group meetings? Whether it's a one-time thing, once a month, or whenever you can, we'd be so grateful. 🙏🏽❤

It's a great way for individuals, families, or small groups to get involved! You can drop off the meal or stick around and serve – we'd love to have you join us! 💞

Two weeks ago, some of our lovely moms gathered for a night of creativity, connection, and fun as they painted alongside their friends and sisters. The energy at our Paint Night was uplifting, and the paintings they created were just as beautiful as the bonds they continue to build. 💞

As we look back on this special evening, we’re even more excited for our upcoming program year at Fristers! We can't wait to welcome our wonderful moms back and continue supporting them on their journeys! ✨
