Be a voice for acceptable elderly care. Talk to others about the current issues the elderly is facing, let others know even though it doesn’t affect them now, this can touch anyone planning on getting older. Talk to your family and encourage them to care now before we face these challenges and it is too late to do something. Advocate every day that there are many in long term care that love activities, love good food, have feelings, need to know they are not alone and forgotten. We continue the search for caring people to help them thrive to the best of their ability. Help us build the village of people that find helping the elderly in long term care a worthy cause just as important as other causes. Together we can and will make a difference, for we already have!

If you just don’t have the time right now to volunteer, there are many things you can do that will help this organization grow!

• When we have an in-person fundraiser, join us to show your support of our organization and help us raise funds, which a portion goes to our Christmas Project for residents. Invite others to attend a fun time to support those in long-term care.

• If you own a business, consider donating a raffle basket, auction item or gift card

• If you know of someone that owns a business or somewhere you do a lot of business, ask them for a donation for our event.

• When we have campaigns such as Giving Tuesday, know that every dollar helps and it all adds up to something.

• If we have a campaign for Honey Baked Hams over the holiday, please consider purchasing a gift card from us to buy your ham. They do give us a generous donation percentage from your purchase.

• When your able, make a random donation on our Facebook Page or Website to support our efforts. Many think non-porofits get things for free, owever the majority of thingswe have to pay for. This is a business, the difference is any profits go back into the organization and not for individual profit. Just to name a few expenses there is Zoom, our Website, printing brochures, Board Insurance and many other things we try to keep to a minimum so we can put more into our mission

We welcome in-kind donations and any donations for things we need.   We can put to use almost anything! Here is some of the things on our wish list:

• A donated space or low cost commerical space that Elderly Advocates can have more room to grow and engage more events and meetings.

• Until we find an office, we need a storage place to put items as we are running out of room for our supplies and needed items.

• Someone to donate the cost of printing our brochures or offering a discount

• Donations of marketing items to bring awareness that Elderly Advocates is here to help and the opportunity to join this effort.

• Donation of ongoing help with office supplies, paper, copier

• In kind donation of CPA services and consultations

• Pro Bono help with legal advice and guidance on running a non-profit for best practices.

• In kind donation of website maintenance or discount on services.

• In kind Donations for our Yearly Christmas Project in getting residents a few things from their wish list that they really need/want.
