Get involved and participate in our community!
Community spirit is the heart of TEEG, and volunteerism is our soul. Our agency was born through the spirit of volunteerism. We are able to serve more clients than our staff can support with the help of our many volunteers who continually step up to lend a hand.
TEEG has been blessed with caring, generous individuals from Thompson and beyond who give freely of their time and talents to help us attain our mission. They provide mentoring support to our community youth, assist with food distribution to those less fortunate, prepare holiday meals, mow lawns, weed gardens, answer our phones, and support our office staff. We could not do it without our valued volunteers!
Are you ready to share your talents with TEEG? There are several ways to get involved! Start by talking with TEEG staff and tell us what you enjoy!
