Teller Senior Coalition provides several programs to older adults in the Pikes Peak Region and is celebrating 30 years! These services include: transportation to doctors’ appointments or other essential needs, supplemental food (home delivered meals and a food pantry), case management, respite relief for caregivers, homemaking services, safety related handyman services, rental/utility support for low-income individuals, and bi-monthly social activities to get older adults out of their homes.
Teller Senior Coalition was founded in August 1996 when a meal service provided by Teller County was eliminated. What began as a community response to food insecurity for seniors has grown into one of the area’s most essential rural support organizations. TSC’s mission is to provide services to Teller county senior citizens to allow them to live healthy, active and independent lives.
Teller Senior Coalition is committed to ensuring that seniors throughout Teller County have access to essential medical appointments, nutritious food, and other basic necessities that support their health and independence despite reductions in federal funding for senior services.
The 2024 National Quick census states that people 65+ years are 27.4% of the Teller population. More than half of the seniors that TSC serves are low-income.
“Since moving to Woodland Park in 2014, I have respected the work being done by Teller Senior Coalition. When I began receiving services, I was very satisfied and happy with the work provided for me through homemaker services… I began looking for services almost everyone told me to contact TSC” — Anonymous Homemaker/Respite client
