Motzei Shabbos Together

Saturday nights are for everyone! While your child enjoys an evening packed with games, activities, friends, and the caring volunteers of Friendship Circle, you can enjoy a few well-deserved hours to yourself. Whether it’s dinner out, running errands or simply relaxing, this program offers parents a chance to recharge while their children have an unforgettable Motzei Shabbos filled with fun, friendship, and smiles.

Grandparent Group

Grandparenting a child with special needs is a challenge without a script. It can be filled with moments of pride along with sadness, anxiety, and loneliness. Friendship Circle hosts a peer group for “special grandparents.” Join us for some thought provoking discussion and delicious refreshments in a warm and supportive environment.
