Welcome to
Tellico village help

a place wehre neighbors help neighbors

Tellico Village Help is a volunteer-run organization dedicated to assisting our neighbors with everyday needs. Starting with a single volunteer, we are hoping to become a growing group of retired residents who enjoy giving back to our community.


Our Services:

  • Local Rides: Airport drop-off/pickup, doctor's appointments, grocery store runs, and more.
  • Errand Assistance: Picking up prescriptions, dry cleaning, and other small tasks.
  • Short-Term Sitting Services: Pet sitting, plant watering, and other in-home assistance.


Our Mission:

To foster a supportive and caring environment within Tellico Village by connecting neighbors in need with willing volunteers.


How it Works:

  • Volunteer-Driven: All services are provided by dedicated Tellico Village residents.
  • Tip-Based: Your generous tips are greatly appreciated and help support the ongoing work of our volunteers. None of our volunteers are paid, their gas, insurance, etc is not reimbursed in any way. Rather than charge a fee we just ask you tip what feels fair and within your budget while considering the resources your volunteer needs to assist you.


Join Us!

We are always looking for more compassionate and helpful neighbors to join our volunteer team. If you have a few hours to spare and a desire to make a difference, please contact us.
