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.
