Started in 2003 with the belief that it takes a community to help care for the community’s seniors in assisted living. Since its inception, Friends of the Restorium has raised $450,000-$500,000 which has been used for facility upgrades and provide services that advance residents’ safety, care, comfort and enjoyment.
Since FOR is a nonprofit, donations are tax deductible.
Friends of the Restorium welcomes new members. Dues are $5 per year. Send checks to the Friends of the Restorium, P.O. Box 1362, Bonners Ferry, ID 83805.
