TELLER SENIOR COALITION
A 501(c)(3) charitable organization
(719) 687-3330
We accept vehicle donations of all types!

HISTORY
In 1996, the Teller Senior Coalition (TSC) was organized when the Teller County Commissioners decided that senior services be privatized. TSC was organized by interested seniors and community leaders to continue vital programs: daily hot meals, transportation, education, information and handy man services. TSC is currently the only organization in Teller County to offer all of these important services. We have received the IRS designation of 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Finding funding to offer senior programs is an on-going challenge for the Coalition.

HANDYMAN
Pikes Peak Area Agency on Aging provides grant monies for materials to make seniors’ homes safer or more healthy. TSC works with volunteer contractors in the local area to install these materials. You must be 60 years or older to qualify. There is no charge for this service, but a donation of at least ten percent of the materials cost is requested. Call 687-3330 to register for this NON-EMERGENCY service.

DAILY MEAL PROGRAM
The Teller Senior Coalition in conjunction with the Golden Circle Meal Program offers hot lunches at the Senior Centers in Woodland Park and Cripple Creek. The suggested donation is $2.00. Lunch is served Monday through Friday at 11:45AM in Woodland Park, and Monday, Wednesday and Friday at the Aspen Mine Center. To make reservations, please call 687-3877 (Woodland Park) or 689-3584 (Cripple Creek) at least 24 hours in advance.
