Mission Statement
To reflect Native American Indian values in meeting the spiritual, social, nutritional and physical needs of all who participate, especially those of greatest social and economic need. The Indian Council of the Elderly (ICE) strives to assist each Elder with the capacity to live independently.
Who We Are…
Indian Council of the Elderly is a non-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization that provides a center which serves lunch to Milwaukee County urban Elders three days a week (Monday, Thursday, and Friday). We offer educational, social and recreational activities such as bingo, monthly health checks, fitness activities, crafts and presentations from community resources and much more.
