January 21 – The Aging Dreamers

January 1, 2019

Comments

On January 21, we remember a great American – Martin Luther King, Jr. – and embrace his “I have a dream” mission and his service to our country. When it comes to caregiving, there are “aging dreamers” – the Dream Foundation – which grants wishes to terminally ill adults.

We also showcase King Day of Service by showcasing ways in which you can volunteer for caregiving organizations.
