Donation and Sponsorship Opportunities


The Community Services Department greatly appreciates the help individuals and organization provide by supporting activities, programs and client services for older adults. Sometimes these gifts are made in celebration of a loved one's birthday, anniversary, or other special event, in sympathy, or in memorial of a loved one. Some donations may be tax-deductible. Find more details in our donations and sponsorships (PDF) form.
 

Food Pantry


The food pantry also relies on donations from the community and local businesses to provide food and personal care items to qualified Westlake residents.  The food pantry is available year round to Westlake residents with limited incomes.  It includes an emergency three-day food supply of non-perishable food as well as holiday food baskets. 

Annual Sponsorship Breakfast


The annual Sponsorship Breakfast is held each November where current and prospective sponsors can see the events and activities available for sponsorship in the following year.  A sponsorship might be providing centerpieces or giveaways, underwriting a speaker's or entertainer's fee or underwriting a lunch where opportunities are available for small group activities of 10 to larger groups over 100.  The breakfast also provides an opportunity for sponsors to network.  

Sponsorship Breakfast Named a Program of Excellence
In 2015, this initiative was recognized by the National Council on Aging's National Institute of Senior Centers (NISC) as one of its 2015 Programs of Excellence.  The Annual recognition honors outstanding efforts made by senior centers across the nation to offer innovative, creative and replicable programs for older adults.
