About Connect Ministry

Where Love Never Forgets

A social program where pathways to improved lives are created by providing a vibrant space with engaging activities and opportunities for building friendships that are supported by people who are passionate about showing love to others and are trained to provide care for people living with memory loss, due to Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Stroke, Dementia or other memory-related disorders.

What We Do

Provide a Community for Memory Loss Participants

Through various programs and activities, we aim to provide a safe and inclusive environment where participants can engage with others facing similar challenges, share their experiences, and build connections.

Provide a Respite for Caregivers

Our program allows caregivers to take a break from their responsibilities and have some time for themselves, knowing that their loved ones are being cared for in a safe and supportive environment.

Provide a Place to Volunteer

Connect is a great place for individuals to volunteer their time and show love and compassion towards those with memory loss. Through our volunteer programs, we aim to create a positive and engaging environment for all of our participants.

Provide Caregiver Support Twice a Month, on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month

Because although caregiving can be gratifying, it can also be challenging, and caregivers need a place to go to share their experiences.

Preschool Interaction

Connect is fortunate to partner with the Christ Episcopal Church preschool, which is housed there. Almost weekly, the preschoolers are invited to participate with the Connect Friends in activities, and both generations benefit from the interactions. It is a beautiful experience to behold

UA Student Volunteers

University of Alabama students are also integral to the Connect Program. We have a Music Therapy Graduate student every semester to lead us in music-related activities that stimulate the brain and help with memory. Music is also a conduit for connection and community. We also are blessed to have students from the University who volunteer alongside us with our participant Friends each week. They are building relationships each week and are making a difference in the lives of these beautiful people who are living with memory loss.
