Featured Program

Senior Grocery Program

Senior grocery packers Jackie, Jo and Ginny pack the grocery bags decorated by the students of Hope Montessori Academy in Monument.

Our Senior Supplemental Grocery Program currently assists 62 seniors every month with an individually packed bag of non-perishable food items, hygiene products and cleaning supplies.  This program is designed to allow needy seniors to stretch their budget dollars to be able to pay for other necessities.  For more information about this program or to donate needed items, contact Diane Brown at programmanager@tri-lakescares.org.
