This week, our incredible Purple Pals volunteers visited Primrose Retirement Community for a special enrichment event filled with music, memories, and meaningful connections. Together with residents, we shared stories, sang favorite songs, and built new friendships through the power of conversation and music. Seeing the joy on everyone’s faces reminded us why these moments matter—because connection is at the heart of everything we do. A huge thank you to our volunteers for bringing warmth and kindness to this event. Your time and compassion make a difference! Want to join us at our next event?

Today, we honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a visionary leader who embodied service, unity, and the unwavering belief in a brighter future for all. At Purple Pals, we are deeply inspired by his commitment to compassion and community. Dr. King’s words remind us of the power of giving back: “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’” This MLK Day, we encourage you to reflect on his legacy and take action to make a difference in your community. Whether it’s through volunteering, supporting caregivers, or simply extending kindness to someone in need, every small step creates a ripple of change. To learn how you can get involved with Purple Pals or other community organizations, please visit www.purplepals.org or message us directly. Together, we can honor Dr. King’s dream and continue building a world filled with care and connection. #purplepals #mlkday #volunteer #giveback

Through engaging activities and meaningful relationships, we enrich the lives of seniors by connecting them with volunteers who share their interests and passions.

Talk About it Tuesday ??? Featuring Purple Pals Tech Tuesday In 2020, over 55 million people worldwide were living with dementia, and technology is proving to be a game-changer in supporting those impacted. At Purple Pals, we’re passionate about bridging the tech gap for seniors! Our University of Kansas chapter hosts Tech Tuesdays, where we empower seniors to embrace technology—whether it’s connecting with loved ones through video calls, exploring apps to enhance memory and cognition, or simply understanding the digital world better. Every session strengthens not only their skills but also their confidence, helping them navigate a tech-driven world with ease. Together, we’re building connections and supporting healthier, more engaged lives. #TechTuesday #PurplePalsKU #EmpoweringSeniors #BridgingTheGap #DementiaSupport #TechnologyForGood
