Your Donation Makes A Difference!
Celebrating Our 25th Anniversary
CONTRIBUTE TO THE RUTHANN DOBEK FUND!
In honor of Ruthann Dobek’s, a fund was created in her name, to be utilized specifically for the purposes listed below. If you would prefer to write a check, note Ruthann Dobek Fund in the memo section and mail your check to the address listed at the bottom of this page… and thank you!
- Fund for social workers for emergency situations. Examples include grocery store gift cards when there is no other funding available, a new mattress for someone whose bedding is infested with bedbugs, a new couch, a new bedroom set for formerly unhoused older adults, and kitchenware for a formerly unhoused client.
- Stipends for the Social Work Intern Program. This would allow the Council on Aging to train more geriatric social workers, thereby expanding and strengthening the Brookline Senior Center social work department.
WHERE DOES MY DONATION GO?
The Town of Brookline covers only 63% of our operating costs. The Brookline Senior Center, a 501(C)(3) nonprofit organization, must depend upon Federal and state support, grants, corporate sponsorships, and individual donations to make up the difference. A few of the items your generous donation supports are:
Transportation Programs (including vans, maintenance, gas, scheduling)
Drivers’ Salaries
Medical Transportation
Our Fitness Center and Scholarships
Essential Programs and Services to ensure Brookline seniors maintain their independence so they be active members of our community
Equipment (including replacement kitchen equipment, computers, audio video equipment, other technologies, and chairs/tables)
Funds for hunger reduction and client emergencies
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO!
The Senior Center could not do what it does without YOU! We appreciate your support more than you can ever imagine and than we can ever express. The Brookline Senior Center is grateful that YOU are a part of this vital work.
The Brookline Senior Center welcomes all who enter through our doors regardless of age, immigration status, income, disability, ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation.
