Patch Works started officially in 2002 because we noticed some people had lost their laughter. Of course the idea was marinading in 2001, but it took a while to figure out where our idea was taking us.
With that in mind, we go all over San Diego County, hanging out and having a blast so others can laugh again. What fun!
Mostly we go to retirement centers and nursing & assisted living facilities. But we have also gone to homeless shelters and fire evacuation shelters--basically anywhere people need to laugh again.
Of course, when word got out, other people wanted to help. So we did a really neat thing and became a non-profit organization. We have a nifty Tax ID Code and everything so people who support us get a tax break, too. Now that's cool! Now you can donate on-line in your jammies! Just use the button on the right.
Help us spread the laughter!
What soap is to the body, laughter is to the soul. ~Yiddish Proverb.
We love to laugh!
In fact, that's our theme song! Frasier and The Jungle Boys lead the laughter!
