About The Friends Foundation
Who We Are
The Friends Foundation was created with a simple but powerful mission: to support seniors in the greater Dripping Springs area with compassion, dignity, and practical resources.
We recognize that aging comes with challenges—both expected and unexpected. Our goal is to bridge the gap between need and support by connecting seniors with services, volunteers, and community resources that make a real difference.
Rooted in local relationships and driven by a heart for service, The Friends Foundation works alongside families, businesses, and community leaders to strengthen the lives of older adults in our region.
What We Do
“Doing good deeds to meet the elderly’s needs.” ™
The Friends Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization serving individuals 60 years of age or older and is committed to providing support, including financial assistance, to senior citizens in need, whether living in a nursing home, an independent living center, or aging in place at their own home in the greater Dripping Springs, Texas area.
How We've Grown
The Friends Foundation, based in Dripping Springs, began in the early 1990s as Friends of Hill Country Care, supporting a community-owned nursing home through fundraising and grants to keep care accessible for local seniors.
In 2004, when the facility transitioned to private ownership, the organization evolved into The Friends Foundation, expanding its mission to serve elderly residents across the greater Dripping Springs area. Today, the Foundation provides financial assistance to seniors, delivers meals through its Our Daily Bread™ program, supports access to emergency response systems through Lifeline, and partners with local nonprofits to enhance care and quality of life for aging community members.
