Dreyer’s Donates $250 to provide puzzles to Alzheimer’s Patients

Puzzles to Remember


This week PuzzlesToRemember received a $250 donation from Dreyer’s. The money was used to ship out the puzzles that were collected by Philips Corporation. About 12 Alzheimer’s facilities are receiving boxes of puzzles for their patients to enjoy.

This is the meaning of microphilanthropy: each person/company doing just some small thing within their capabilities builds to make the world a much better place.

Here is a photo of someone enjoying her life just a little more because of Dreyer’s and Philips:
