I was lucky enough to volunteer with For Love & Art during the pandemic; no easy time for anyone! I had 2- to 3-hour-long presentations almost every day, with up to 50 people who would come to our online virtual museum tours. I’ve made lifelong friends of several of the guests of our get-togethers, and we sometimes even meet in person to go to museums or online to talk about art. All because of the connections made through For Love & Art!

Presently, I volunteer with patients who have dementia and their caregivers. My Mother had early onset dementia, so I feel like FL&A brings such a gift to my life to be able to reach people who, like my mom, need to interact so they don’t feel isolated. The people who get to be part of the FL&A program look at beautiful, moving, evocative art that awakens their minds and enlivens their days. And as a volunteer, I could not be more happy with every hour I give.
