Welcome, June ☀️

June arrives with longer days, warmer sunshine, and a natural invitation to slow down and reconnect with what brings us joy. After the quieter rhythms of winter and spring, summer often brings a renewed sense of energy, possibility, and connection. More daylight can lift our mood, encourage movement, and remind us to spend a little more time outdoors, gathering with family, and appreciating simple moments.

For caregivers, this season can offer a gentle reminder that caring for yourself matters too. While routines and responsibilities continue, the lighter days encourage us to pause, step outside, breathe in fresh air, and find small moments of restoration. Even a short walk, sharing a meal outside, or enjoying a quiet cup of coffee in the sun can help refill the cup that so often pours into others.

As we welcome June, we hope this month brings opportunities for connection, laughter, meaningful moments, and a little extra light—for those receiving care and for the caregivers walking alongside them. 🌿☀️

Book Nook: THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING PHENONEMON

One spring morning, a stranger named Theo arrives in the small Southern city of Golden. He doesn't explain much about where he came from or why he's there--but when he visits the local coffeehouse, where pencil portraits of the people of Golden hang on the walls, he begins purchasing them, one at a time, and giving each portrait to the person depicted. In exchange, he asks only for the person's story. And so portrait by portrait, person by person, secrets are revealed, regrets are shared, and ordinary lives are profoundly altered.

Featured Nonprofit – June at The Fabulous Find

We’re honored to be selected as one of June’s featured nonprofits at The Fabulous Find in Kittery! Throughout the month, proceeds from this upscale resale boutique will be shared among three local nonprofits.

You can support by shopping or donating gently loved items—giving quality pieces a second life all while giving back to the community.

The Fabulous Find has been supporting their local community for 15 years and we are so grateful and honored to be partnering with them this June!

Become a Sponsor. Make an Impact.
Planning for our annual event is underway, and sponsorship opportunities are now open! Partnering with us is more than supporting an event—it’s investing in a stronger, more connected community for those living with dementia and their care partners. We invite businesses and organizations to join us in creating something meaningful together.

Stay tuned for upcoming fundraising events from A Place to Start. We’ll be hosting community fundraisers to support programs that provide practical guidance and emotional support for family caregivers and their loved ones living with Alzheimer’s.
