Volunteering at Saguaro Memory Center with Honey Bear

Peighten, her little sister Kinsley, and therapy puppy Honey Bear look forward to volunteering at the memory care center where their great-grandmother Dollee lives. Along with her kindergarten class, she decorates doors, delivers mail, reads stories, celebrates holidays, and shares smiles. They discover that every visit brings new friendships and meaningful moments. As they learn about Alzheimer’s disease, they find that kindness, patience, and love can brighten someone’s day in powerful ways.

This heartwarming story introduces children and families to the value of volunteering with older adults. It encourages intergenerational connections, builds empathy and understanding, and shows how simple acts of service can bring joy to both the giver and the receiver. A wonderful resource for families, classrooms, and communities seeking meaningful ways to connect and make a difference together.
