In Person Coffee Social is now Weekly!

The In-Person Coffee social is exactly what it sounds like, a good old fashioned get together to sip coffee and enjoy light hearted conversation with survivors, family members, caregivers and volunteers.  The Coffee social is an in-person once a month gathering that meets on the last Tuesday of the month from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. (Pacific Time Zone). We enjoy ourselves with laughter and good company while combating isolation by building a community network of friends and support.
