Our membership is passionate about the many non-profits serving our local community. On a quarterly basis, TEMPO Waukesha's Community Impact Committee chooses and introduces a non-profit to members at monthly luncheons. At each luncheon, members have the opportunity to hear about and/or support the highlighted organization.
THANK YOU,
Your Community Impact Committee
Eras Senior Network is TEMPO Waukesha's
1st Quarter Charity for 2020
We are pleased to award a grant of $500 to Eras Senior Network of Waukesha. The mission of Eras Senior Network is to engage and support Waukesha County seniors and adults with disabilities in leading meaningful lives. The grant will support the Faith in Action Program, which responds to the needs of Waukesha County’s at-risk population of older adults (age 60+) and adults (age 18+) with disabilities. The program aims to improve their access to health services needed to manage chronic diseases and address age-related disabilities, and address social determinants of health, specifically assistance with activities of daily living such as food pantries and grocery stores, errands for basic needs, socialization, and home safety.
In 2018, this program served 760 Waukesha County seniors and adults with disabilities; more than 75% of these beneficiaries are women. Heather from Eras Senior Network will join us at our January meeting to share more about the program and accept the grant.
