At Home In Darien

We were honored to participate in Darien's Memorial Day parade! The rain stopped just in time for the parade to kick off, and the crowds were wonderful. What a great way to honor those who died protecting our freedom.

Congratulations to our volunteer Elizabeth McNiff who was recognized as an Outstanding Adult Volunteer by the Community Fund of Darien!
Elizabeth reached out to volunteer with us in 2024, as she wanted to help seniors feel connected to the community. Elizabeth was paired with a Darien senior who she has been visiting weekly. The daughter of the woman Elizabeth visits explained, “We are so lucky to have Elizabeth come visit my mom every week for almost 2 years. She is a constant in my mom’s life and she always comes with a big smile and her happy demeanor! My mom’s world is very small at 92 and people like Elizabeth really make a difference - more than they know I think!! My mom and I consider Elizabeth’s visit a very special part of the week and now she’s our friend!! We all celebrated my mom’s 92nd together too!!” We are so thankful to Elizabeth for being such a conscientious and trustworthy volunteer!

Spring is in the air at At Home In Darien! Thank you so much to St. Luke's Parish in Darien for donating beautiful lily and hydrangea plants. The seniors loved receiving the plants and spending time with our volunteers who delivered them! Thank you also to Kim from for donating and designing beautiful cards that accompanied the plants.
