Become a Champion for Older Adults in Your Community
Our Mission & Vision
Our mission is to support individuals through the journey of aging. Our vision is for all individuals to have opportunities to age with honor and dignity.
Why should you choose to become a CHAMPION?
ESSENTIAL
1 in 8 Missouri seniors face hunger and food insecurity; Aging Ahead delivers meals to over 4,200 individuals every day.
SUPPORT
Many of the 38 million unpaid family caregivers in the US, including some of your employees, are facing extreme fatigue, including physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion from the long-term care they provide to a loved one with a chronic illness, disability, or aging-related condition. Aging Ahead’s Family Caregiver Support Program provides support, services, advocacy, and resources to help care for the caregiver.
MEETING THE NEED
Funding for critical support services that MANY seniors and their caregivers, including some of your employees, rely on has not kept up with demand; Aging Ahead is asking for the community’s help.
COMMUNITY
Employees prefer to work for an employer with a strong sense of ‘giving back’ to the community. Aging Ahead offers many ways for individuals, businesses, and organizations to help us support older adults in St. Louis, St. Charles, Franklin, and Jefferson counties.
We can’t do it alone...
