Every year, throughout the month of June, we invite our community to
celebrate the outstanding caregivers in their lives through gifts to Project Guardianship. These unsung heroes – family, friends, neighbors, and professionals – extend themselves time and again to improve and sustain the wellbeing of others. Whether they are picking up groceries, paying bills, accompanying their loved ones to appointments, or simply being compassionate companions, caregivers are essential to the fabric of our society.
We are incredibly grateful for the caregivers listed on this tribute page. Through their supportive, far-reaching efforts, older people and those living with disabilities are able to enjoy safer, more fulfilling, and connected lives.
