⏳💙 Just TWO DAYS LEFT to donate physical items for our 2026 Wellness Essentials Drive!

Taking care of those who once took care of us is a meaningful way to give back. This season of giving, Faith & Family CARES is collecting hygiene products for seniors and disabled adults in need—because health, comfort, and dignity matter at every stage of life.

Everyday essentials can become difficult to afford when budgets are stretched. Your donation can help someone care for themselves with confidence and feel the support of a community that remembers them. 🧼🫶

Please submit your physical donations before the deadline in two days! Unable to give items? You can still make a difference with a financial donation at: 🌐 faithandfamilycares.org

Give what you can, share this post, and help us surround our neighbors with care. Each person we serve is another extension of our family. 💙

For family, for community, for life.

🍂💚 **Hello, October! Let’s Get Stronger Together!** 💪🏽

A new month is here, and so is the **October 2026 Faith & Family CARES Health & Wellness Newsletter!**

This month, we’re talking about **Aging Strong: Building Strength, Balance & Confidence**—because getting older doesn’t mean slowing down on living! 🙌🏽

For our seniors and families, maintaining strength and mobility can mean greater confidence, independence, and the ability to keep doing the things we love. And sometimes, the smallest changes can make the biggest difference.

🍁 **Inside October’s issue:**

💪🏽 Simple ways to maintain strength and mobility
🏠 Tips for creating a safer home and reducing fall risks
🥗 Nutrition ideas to help support a strong, healthy body
🧘🏽‍♀️ Our **7 Days to a Stronger & Safer You Challenge**
🤍 A special **Caregiver Corner** focused on mobility, independence, and fall prevention

This month, we’re celebrating everything our seniors **CAN DO** and encouraging families to get involved along the way. Grab a loved one, take a walk, clear a pathway, stretch together, or simply encourage someone to keep moving forward. 👟💚

📖 Check out the October newsletter by clikcing the link below and join us as we continue making healthy aging a **family and community affair!**

Because at Faith & Family CARES, we’re doing it…

**For family. For community. For life.** 💚

Last week, our executive director Anthony Moore was able to share our message of Healthy Aging ⚕️and Medication Management💊 with a group of seniors that are serious about taking care of their health in Flint, Michigan. What a joy it is to encourage our seasoned community members to live out their golden years fully and healthy ❤️.

If you have a senior group that could use some uplifting, we can help! Like, follow, and share to keep in touch with Faith & Family CARES and all that we are doing in our communities!

💙 Join the 2026 Wellness Essentials Drive! 💙

Faith and Family CARES is calling on our community to help support seniors and adults with disabilities throughout Saginaw County and surrounding communities.

For many of the individuals we serve, everyday necessities such as soap, shampoo, toothpaste, deodorant, laundry detergent, and household cleaning supplies are not always affordable or readily available. No one should have to choose between purchasing basic essentials and paying for food, medication, utilities, or other critical needs.

That is what the Wellness Essentials Drive is all about—providing practical support while preserving dignity, encouraging independence, and reminding our neighbors that they are seen, valued, and loved.

You can make a difference by:

🧴 Donating hygiene products
🧹 Giving household cleaning supplies
📦 Organizing a collection at your church, workplace, school, or community organization
💝 Making a financial contribution
📣 Sharing this post with your family and friends

Whether you give one item, fill an entire box, make a financial gift, or simply help spread the word, your support will impact lives!

Donate financially through:

🌐 faithandfamilycares.org
💵 Cash App: $FaithNFamilyCares
💙 Venmo:

Every person we serve is an extension of our family—and families take care of one another. Together, we can bring comfort, dignity, wellness, and hope to those who need it most.

Every item matters. Every gift makes a difference. Every act of kindness changes a life.
