Twilight Wish Foundation has three (3) innovative programs, each created to meet a specific need of the elderly. Those three programs include the following:

• Wish Granting Program
• Dining Unexpected Thank You program (DUTY)
• Intergenerational Caring Program (ICP)

First and foremost, Twilight Wish provides individual wish fulfillment through our Wish Granting Program. We grant wishes to seniors 68 and older, who earn less than 200% of poverty level or who live in a nursing facility and cannot make their own wishes come true.

Our Dining Unexpected Thank You (DUTY) program evolved from the personal experience of our founder on the day at the diner that would be the impetus for the realization of the need for a charity aimed at helping the forgotten elderly in our country. Our DUTY program directly involves the community in reaching out and thanking seniors directly by treating them to a meal on the spot. The program is simple: if a diner sees an elderly person eating out and would like to treat them to a meal, they hand the DUTY card to a waitress and pay that person’s bill. In turn, the waitress presents the card to the recipient as a thank you for everything they have done over the years. It is up to the sponsor whether or not they wish to remain anonymous. The end result is the elderly person is acknowledged and thanked by younger generations, bringing them comfort, happiness and joy. DUTY cards can be printed directly off the website or requested from the Twilight Wish headquarters.

Lastly, our Intergenerational Caring Program (ICP) matches local schools and groups of younger generations with nearby nursing homes, giving the students the full circle of the grassroots experience of fundraising, planning events, and directly granting wishes. One significant goal of ICP is that it raises the self-esteem of both the students and the nursing home recipients.
