Elder Bearies'

We know that older adults need a sense of community and a need to strengthen social activities.In response to this need TRC has developed several programs to encourage and motivate older adults to take action and get involved. All Elder Bearies' programs are adults ages 50 and better.

Community Garden

The Turner Community Garden, located at 55th & Klamm, features a 12,000 square foot community vegetable garden, butterfly and herb garden, children's garden, bee hives, orchard and public picnic area. The garden has added a port-a-potty for the convenience of our visitors and volunteers,
