Hello to all.What an interesting year it has been! When we last communicated with you, we were basically shut down, like everyone else, due to COVID-19. We have since carefully re-opened and are serving about 25 participants per week, as opposed to 50 pre-COVID. For our many volunteers and donors:Because of you, we can resume […]
It’s getting warmer…
It’s getting warmer, and that means Summer is on the way. And with Summer comes outdoor fun for our participants and folks who support Hollis Adams by participating in a couple of our most fun FUNdraisers (see what I did there?): The Hollis Adams Mud Run presented by Hendrickson International and the Hollis Adams Golf […]
Happy New Year!

Looking Forward to a Great Summer
I recently had a chance to check out the Hollis Adams calendar. I was impressed by all the great HAFriends outings, on top of the weekly Thursday night dances.

Why is Hollis Adams Foundation passionate about serving adults?
“If your organization benefitted kids or animals, I am sure you would be more successful raising funds!” The first time someone said this to me, I was incredulous. Stunned to be exact. But then I heard it again, and again. And people continue to say this to me. This statement has certainly become a source […]
