Sunday, February 22 | 1:00 – 2:30 PM
Sholom West Campus, 3620 Phillips Pkwy, St Louis Park, MN 55426
Meeting details will be shared with registered participants.
JFCS is teaming up with Sholom Senior Living to bring joy and pet therapy to older adults living at Ackerberg Sholom West Campus in St. Louis Park. This is a family-friendly event. Every volunteer will receive a free blue JFCS in Action t-shirt to wear and keep.
Bring your pup (all sizes welcome!) and join us for a parade of paws, tails, and smiles! We’ll split up into groups and “parade” through the campus, visiting residents in each building and sharing lots of tail-wagging happiness.
Even if you don’t have a dog, we hope you will sign up to join us for a nice afternoon of conversation and community.
