PLOWS Council on Aging, South Suburban Cook County’s premier leader and connection to aging information and resources, is participating in GivingTuesday, a generosity movement where millions of people come together to support and champion the causes they believe in and the communities in which they live.
On GivingTuesday, PLOWS will inspire generosity and ask the community to join in and help meet the increased needs of older adults, adults with disabilities, and caregivers throughout 20 communities in South Suburban Cook County.
“This is a critical platform for us to raise much-needed funds so that community members who are navigating the aging process can continue to have access to food, shelter and safety – fundamental rights that every individual should have,” said Ken Grunke, Executive Director of PLOWS Council on Aging. “Given our 45th anniversary this year, we are excited to launch our fundraising campaign: “Make A Difference”, in which our partners, RRF Foundation for Aging, have offered to match any and all donations made on GivingTuesday, dollar for dollar.* Now that is making an impact!“ added Grunke.
