A Typical Day

Empowering Terrebonne’s Seniors — Every Single Day

 

For over 50 years, the Terrebonne Council on Aging (TCOA) has proudly stood at the heart of our community, ensuring that Terrebonne Parish’s seniors and adults with disabilities receive the care, nourishment, and support they deserve.

Each day, our dedicated team serves approximately 2,000+ clients through programs that promote independence, health, and connection — from nutritious home-delivered meals to transportation, in-home support, and engaging senior center activities.

None of this would be possible without the continued support of Terrebonne Parish residents and the millage funds that sustain our mission. Your generosity allows us to make every day brighter, safer, and more fulfilling for the seniors who built this community.

Just a quick thanks for the wonderful collection of goods you delivered to us this past month. Such a thoughtful thing to do! I frequently saw we have the best council of all, and this gift verifies it. Once again, Thanks.

Thanks to Council on Aging. I know that this is little but I still want to thank you. The lunches you bring me mean so much. I have so many problems standing in one place to even cook a meal. I also want to thank you for my birthday gift. It was such a wonderful surprise. Thank you. I bless you all for the wonderful job you are doing. God bless you and keep you all safe. I love you all.

Just want to thank you for the most thoughtful gift basket for Mrs. I.S. on her 95th birthday. It really cheered her up and made her day extra special. Thanks also for the meals you provide and the courteous driver who delivers them everyday with always a smile and a kind word! It means a lot to those who are homebound. Again, thanks for all that you do.

On behalf of the Veterans of this area we wish to thank you for the assistance with hot meals for our homeless Veterans. You do so much for our seniors, but to help veterans too, goes above and beyond the call. Thank you again for your help. God Bless America and supporters like you.
