Please Take Our Survey
As a community member, sharing your views is essential to help us define our goals on how to help aging and disabled Trout Lakers, their families, as well as plan for the future. We are closing out our survey September 2.
About Trout Lake Care Inc.
We are a volunteer organization of Trout Lake residents. Our diversity is our strength, which is reflected in our growing number of supporters. We can accomplish our goals if we are unified by a common vision. The help and services we intend to provide will tap into this strong ethic of volunteerism we have in our community. At the same time, we will partner with outside organizations including the Area Agency on Aging & Disabilities of Southwest Washington (AAADSW) and Klickitat County Senior Services, organizations that offer many services and programs to benefit us. Both directors of these agencies have encouraged our efforts.
Our Mission and Vision for the Future
With the support of our community, we not only want to restart the programs that were under Ray’s leadership but explore expanding services in new areas: identify a gathering space for seniors for regular activities such as lectures, exercise classes, celebration gatherings, or a place to find a good book to read or meet friends and neighbors by the fireplace on a snowy day. A community kitchen offering a frozen meals on wheels program, a shuttle into town on a regular schedule, and regular wellness checks by a nurse. Contact Joannie Williams for questions related to health services. We’d like to involve senior students from the Trout Lake school who want to volunteer their time to help and support our programs in different ways.
Financial Viability
Join Our Effort
Right now, the best way to support our effort is to take our survey. This will allow us to identify areas of consensus and enable us to move forward, as well as attract funding. Contact any board member if you want to volunteer. We will need help in many areas, including leadership. We currently have five board members but want to add two more positions. The survey lists several ways to volunteer. If you would like to donate, contact any board member, or go to Contact Us below.
