Milwaukee County is home to the state’s largest population of adults age 60 and older. While many older adults have family and friends to help them, a growing number need assistance from the community to help them live independently. For medical, financial, or safety reasons, they can’t drive themselves, and look to Eras Senior Network for support.
About Eras Senior Network
Milwaukee County seniors age 60+ rely on Eras Senior Network for rides to healthcare appointments, delivery of grocery stores orders and stock boxes, and weekly friendly phone visits. Services are offered at no charge to help continue to live independently on a fixed income.
Volunteers are needed:
Provide rides for essential healthcare appointments using your own car, in your community of choice, when you are available.
Pick up and deliver food to clients. Volunteers are needed for ongoing delivery of stock boxes of food and pick ups of food ordered from local grocery stores.
Become a phone friend to a senior who is isolating to protect their health. Check in weekly or every two weeks to ensure that seniors have sufficient food and medication, and chat with them to help them know that the community cares.
