Thank you to Ruth's Promise for hosting our July Chomp & Chat!


Ruth’s Promise Adult Day Program, 455 Missouri Ave., Largo, FL, 33770

About our Sponsor: Ruth’s Promise is a five day a week adult day care designed to give a much needed break for caregivers. Ruth’s Promise provides a safe, inviting, therapeutic and enjoyable community, environment and program for adults who cannot stay at home alone. While the program is designed to sustain and maximize function and cognition in the older adult, as well as provide enjoyable activities in a community setting, the program also gives much needed and deserved support to caregivers and allows them time to complete tasks or relax without the demands of caregiving.
