(Community Matters) Met this morning with Karen Langley & Aldo Walker from Family Eldercare. Such an outstanding organization.
They provide in-home & respite care, bill payer services, senior housing, Elder shelter, guardianship and resource consultation services for Central Texas elderly, adults with disabilities and those who care for them.
Very close to having raised the full $7mm to fund the construction of a new client services facility near Robert Mueller development as well as to increase training and outreach efforts, expand staff and launch an endowment.
Dick & Sara Rathgeber led with contribution of land. Other major donors to date include Mitte Foundation, Meadows Foundation, City of Austin, Travis County, The Anderson Charitable Foundation, St. David’s Community Health Foundation, The Connor Foundation, Tocker Foundation, Oneok Foundation, Lola Wright Foundation, MFI Foundation, Turner Friendship Trust & Kennedy Foundation. Board members and other individual donors have contributed another $340k-ish. Only $500k remaining to be raised.
According to Karen & Aldo, demographic projections suggest the population being served will increase by 50% in the next 5 to 10 years.
