TEEG’s Senior Outreach programs recognize that seniors are the foundation of our community. They are our historians, our guides and our elders. The lessons that they share are woven from the stories passed down from generation to generation.

TEEG’s ability to provide access to health care, financial assistance, food and fuel have helped hundreds of area seniors to remain living independently in their homes with dignity and a sense of purpose. As they have provided stewardship through the years, it is our turn to care for them, assuring their ability to share their legacy and heritage with us.

Seniors are an invaluable part of the Quiet Corner community. They connect us with our past and generously share their life experiences, talents and wisdom. TEEG is committed to helping older residents (60+) lead active, involved, healthy, and independent lives in their own communities. Throughout the year, our programs provide Seniors with vital services as well as entertainment, social and recreational activities. TEEG’s Senior Outreach Services include:
