Give to the Max 2024

Tamarisk was founded in 1993 and has been dutifully serving families in the Hennepin and Anoka County areas.   Founded on the mission to provide dignified companionship to individuals faced with the end stages of a terminal illness, Tamarisk volunteers attend to their very personal and individual non-medical needs providing comfort, support and care at no cost to them.  Since the beginning, over 1000 families have been welcomed into the Tamarisk family as recipients of quality compassionate service.

Part of the Tamarisk outreach is to share the stories of the families we serve;

Our Tamarisk volunteer Kelly has definitely been the best Gift of our time! She is now family;  Wally looks forward to Her visit of treats, fun & games.

I love having a day to do whatever pleases me!

Verna, wife of Wally

I have been a volunteer with the Mostrom family for over 2 years.    Wally and I enjoy many activities, crafts, walks and long talks.   Our favorite is listening and singing to classic country mixing in music trivia. I feel like part of the family and enjoy our weekly visits.    I consider it a blessing to be welcomed into a family with open arms.
