What is the Silver Birch Foundation?

​

The Silver Birch Foundation was founded in 2017 to help fill the gaps for community members in times of need and crisis. The Silver Birch Foundation wants to help create a sense of healing and safety in our communities.

​

These are unfortunate times when an older adult faces forms of abuse, whether it be physical, sexual verbal, financial exploitation, and or abandonment, and the Silver Birch Foundation can offer hope, support, and resources that may not be available to an individual in any other way.

​

The Silver Birch Foundation works with Area Agency on Aging 3 to support their mission to provide life-span resources that inspire, educate, and empower older adults, persons with disabilities and family caregivers. There is something we all have in common. We are all aging. And this is the time when older adults, persons with disabilities and their family caregivers needs your support more than ever.

 

The smallest amount can make a difference in the life of someone. We are impacting a number of people through the foundation. The foundation was founded with the intent to grow and help older adults and people with disabilities that not have only been victims but have a need that cannot be met through other means.

​

Thank you for your continued support. Your contributions can make a world a difference to someone in need and help to provide services to our most vulnerable of populations.

​

When every avenue and resource available has been explored, the Silver Birch Foundation can offer hope. The roots run deep of the silver birch tree and with each season it continues its life cycle. Aging gracefully while growing in strength.
