Friends for Life
Friends for Life is a group of volunteers who support the residents of Life's Garden. Friends for Life has its own Board, consisting of volunteers primarily from Sunnyvale Presbyterian Church. Funding for events comes from a nominal annual membership paid by residents and donations from Sunnyvale Presbyterian church members and other friends
Friends for Life hosts several annual social events, including a Pizza Party, Ice Cream social, Luau, and Christmas Tea. For each event, Friends for Life provides food, festive decorations, and musical entertainment for residents to enjoy.
