About Us
“Be a lamp, a lifeboat or a ladder.
Help someone’s soul heal.
Walk out of your house like a shepherd.”
-Rumi
​
We are a group of volunteers committed to serving the ill, elderly or frail
from the beginning of a health challenge to the end of life including the dying process.
​
Our Story
The Circle of Friends has been serving the local community for several decades.
It started with a couple of friends wanting to ease the stress of illness and old age for other friends. Over the years we have become more organized and mature.
We became a California public non-profit in 2016.
​
Our resources include:
-
Medical equipment and supplies listed in a lending website.
-
A team of volunteers who help with rides and meals.
-
Coordination of services with an online volunteer sign up page.
-
This website is a resource for the community as a repository of important educational articles on Caregiving, Emergencies, Education, End of Life and local Resources.
