This year we are celebrating our 25th year of visiting seniors in our community! We are so excited to announce that this year Friends To All will have a float in the Nevada Day Parade! This year the parade will be held on Saturday, October 26th and the theme is “All For Our Country”.
Be sure to watch for Santa and give him a big “Ho, Ho, Ho” and maybe he’ll pass a candy cane your way.
Tell your friends and family too!

We’d like to shout out a special thanks to ARMAC Construction, for providing us with a large transport truck to use on parade day. We are beyond grateful for your support!

Mark your calendars! Our annual Senior Santa Visits will be held on Saturday, December 14th, 2024. This will be Friends To All’s 25th Year of spreading joy through visits to homebound seniors. We have some exciting things planned this year. Be sure to follow us on Facebook so you don’t miss the fun!

Here’s what some of our local stores are offering…

+ COSTCO – Senior Hours
Tuesdays & Thursdays from 8am – 9am 

+ SMITH’S – Senior Hours
Mondays, Wednesdays, & Fridays from 7AM-8AM

+ SAVE MART – Senior Hours
Tuesdays & Thursdays from 6am – 9am 

+ RALEY’S – Senior Essential Bags

These hours apply to people 60 and older and most stores are also allowing other high-risk people to shop during these hours as well, such as women who are pregnant.
