Aging and Long Term Care - Adopt a Neighbor
Help with shoveling snow this winter
Good morning,
Aging and Long Term Care of Eastern Washington is launching a campaign called Adopt A Neighbor to find resources for our Seniors and or Individuals with Disabilities who need help with shoveling snow.
Here’s how it works for the 2023-2024 winter:
1. Volunteer Participation: We are seeking groups such as clubs, organizations, businesses, Churches, Community Centers, and schools willing to adopt one or more older adults or individuals with disabilities in their community.
2. Resource Allocation: Each participating entity decides how many community members they can adopt and support.
3. Referral Process: When Aging & Long Term Care receives a call from someone in need of snow removal assistance, we will provide you with the individual’s contact information.
4. Direct Communication: All communication and coordination will happen directly between you and the neighbor you adopt. This personal touch fosters a sense of community and care.
5. Flexible Commitment: Your commitment can be as flexible as you decide. Once you’ve adopted as many individuals as you can accommodate, we will stop referring new neighbors to you.
How to Get Involved: If your group is interested in participating in “Adopt A Neighbor” and making a meaningful impact in your community, please reach out to us. You can contact us at action@altcew.org or (509) 960-7281 to express your interest and get started.
“Adopt A Neighbor” is an opportunity for our community to come together and support those who may need a little extra help during the winter months. By participating, you not only provide a valuable service but also strengthen the bonds of compassion and solidarity within our neighborhoods. Let’s make this winter season a little warmer for our seniors and individuals with disabilities through “Adopt A Neighbor.”
If your agency is willing to help us make this campaign go viral, please respond and I will forward you our toolkit, complete with Facebook posts and a newsletter.
