Turkey Drop is almost here

🦃 Double Your Impact This Thanksgiving! Help Us Give Back!

Thanksgiving is a time for gratitude, generosity, and caring for our neighbors. Once again, Seniors Helping Seniors West Michigan is proud to support the annual Turkey Drop!

This wonderful West Michigan tradition brings together Mel Trotter Ministries, WOOD Radio, and Celebration Cinema to collect frozen turkeys and donations for families in need throughout Greater Grand Rapids.

For the 4th year in a row, we're inviting our caregivers to join us in making a difference—and we'll MATCH your generosity!

❤️ You Give, We Give!

• Donate a turkey? We'll donate another turkey!

• Give $10? We'll contribute another $10!

• Give $25? We'll match it with $25!

How to participate: Simply make your donation to Turkey Drop and let our office know. Photos of you dropping off your donation are our favorite!

Every gift, big or small, helps put a Thanksgiving meal on someone's table.

You spend your days caring for others. This Thanksgiving, let's come together as a Seniors Helping Seniors family to extend that same compassion to our neighbors in need.

Together, we can make Thanksgiving a little brighter for our community! 🧡

Great client matches start with YOU

There’s nothing more important than making sure you are sent to the right clients where you feel comfortable and confident! We've added some new caregiver/client matching critiera to Wellsky and we need your input.

Thank you.

KENT - Join Us for our "Something for Everyone Bag" Assembly Day!

For the past four years, our team has purchased and assembled our annual "Something for Everyone Bags"—special care packages filled with essential items and holiday warmth for our clients in need.

This year, for our 5th anniversary, we are doing something different: we are inviting YOU to join us in assembling them!

Because our caregivers spend most of their working hours caring for seniors independently in their homes, we rarely get the chance to all be in the same room together. We wanted to turn this annual tradition into a special opportunity for our team to connect, laugh, and work side-by-side.

Event Details

• What: Annual Everyone Bag Assembly (Volunteer Team Project)

• Date: Tuesday, October 13th

• Time: 10:00 - 12:00

• Location: The Storehouse 4411 Plainfield Ave NE, Grand Rapids, MI 49525

Please note: This is a completely voluntary, unpaid volunteer gathering designed purely as a fun, low-pressure team project to foster connection and community.

Whether you can drop in for 20 minutes or stay for an hour, we would love to see you there! Refreshments will be provided, and it promises to be a wonderful time of fellowship as we prepare to bless our clients this season.

Want to join us? Please email a.williams@managedseniorcare.com a quick message so we can make sure we have enough coffee and treats for everyone.

Thank you for everything you do each day to bring comfort and joy to the seniors we serve. We can’t wait to spend time together as a team!
