50th Anniversary Sponsorship
Eastside Senior Services is hosting a fundraising event to celebrate 50 years of service on November 7, 2024 at Sprecher Brewery. We are excited to present you with the opportunity to partner with us and sponsor our event.
The mission of Eastside Senior Services is to help adults aged 60 and older to live independently and stay connected to their community on the east side of Milwaukee, Riverwest, and Shorewood. Volunteers help with rides, grocery shopping, errands, companionship, minor home repairs and chores. A medical equipment loan closet is available to those in need of items such as wheelchairs and walkers. Office staff assist callers in referrals, advocacy, and community offering awareness. We also hold several serving events or gatherings. We’ve distributed birthday cards, holiday cards, letters, and holiday calls. All services are FREE, and there are no income restrictions.
We are 100% supported by community sponsors, donations, grants, and fundraising. Last year, 108 volunteers assisted 229 older adults in our community, serving 4816 times and donating 7109 hours of their time. The agency is managed and coordinated with just three part-time staff. We pride ourselves in the judicious use of donated funds. To achieve that goal, we have donated office space and few other expenses resulting in low overhead. Now more than ever, we need your support. For the last five years our service numbers have been exploding and we require additional staffing hours in order to continue serving our community the best way we can.
By sponsoring our event, you will:
- Strengthen ties in our local community, with your support staying within ten miles of your organization
- Build a positive image with your customers and employees and their communities
