Our Mission

Friends for Life is a 501(c)(3) charity that was founded in Waco, Texas, in September of 1989 to improve the quality of life for seniors and people with disabilities, particularly those who are without family to care for them.

Friends for Life provides support systems and services that empower seniors and people with disabilities to live their best lives as independently as possible.
