One of the primary purposes of Our Harmony Club is to provide respite care for caregivers.  Respite care offers rest for caregivers and gives those individuals time for themselves.   During the 6 hours while their loved one is at club, they are able to go grocery shopping, spend time with friends, or just do nothing.  That break is critical for them as it enables them to rejuvenate and refresh from the stresses associated with being a caregiver.

With the exception of the Director, the program is 97% run by volunteers.  These individuals are the foundation and backbone of our organization.  These individuals are generally retired people from our community who want to give back while having fun and making a difference in the lives of others.  They interact with our clients by assisting with crafts and games, taking part in conversations, and just being their friend for the day.  Other volunteers will lead games and exercises while others will help in the kitchen preparing meals and snacks.  Our program would not be possible if it were not for the countless people who dedicate their time every month at Our Harmony Club. 

A day at Our Harmony Club consists of up to 6 hours of respite for the caregiver, from 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM. Guests and volunteers enjoy reminiscing about the “old days”, working on crafts, doing puzzles, participating in sing-a-longs, and just simply spending time together!  Whether they come as a guest or a volunteer, all who attend benefit from the social, emotional, and physical aspects of our program.
