Support for the Residents of Local Care Centers
There are many women who unfortunately are confined to local care homes who have no family at all or no family who visit. The Woman's Club of Medford has, over the years, 'adopted' several of these women. We visit when we can, we celebrate their birthdays and other holidays and simply try to bring a little joy into their lives.
