Senior Advocacy for Independent Living

Join Us on the Journey: Building a Community for Independent Aging

The Village Movement is a community-driven approach that helps older adults remain independent in their own homes by connecting neighbors to practical support and social connection. Instead of building a retirement community, a “village” creates a network of members and volunteers who coordinate rides, small home tasks, check-ins, and social activities — all rooted in trust and belonging. This model is especially powerful in rural places like Door County, where distance, limited services, and changing support systems can make aging at home challenging. A village fills those gaps by activating the strength of community itself.

About Us

Welcome to Senior Advocacy for Independent Living, a program of Do Good Door County,  where neighbors come together to uplift one another.  Whether you’re seeking assistance or eager to lend a helping hand, you’re in the right place.  We’re driven by a shared commitment to enhance the lives of older adults in our community. For those in need, we offer a wide range of services designed to promote independence and dignity in the comfort of your own home. From simplified access to essentital resources to practical assistance with daily tasks like grocery shopping, errand running, check-ins, social gatherings, outdoor chores, companionship, light housekeeping, and even holiday decorations, we’re here to ensure you thrive.

 

Our mission is to improve the quality of life for older adults in Baileys Harbor, Ephraim, Liberty Grove and Sister Bay by connecting them with available services.

 

But the program isn’t just about receiving help; it’s about giving back too. We invite you to join our dedicated team of volunteers who embody the true spirit of community. By offering your time and skills, you can make a meaningful difference in the lives of your elderly neighbors. Whether it’s lending a listening ear, running errands, sharing companionship, or brightening someone’s day with a friendly visit, your contribution matters.
