The Shepherd’s Center of Richmond (TSCOR) is not a place or a building. It is older individuals who participate in programs of mutual interest and help their neighbors through volunteer service. TSCOR is a non-profit, service and education organization founded in March of 1984 and is a successful and inspiring model of just how resourceful a group of men and women can be in making Richmond a more caring community for older people. For 35 years, we have been a vital and successful organization that works in the Richmond community. As the Baby Boomers grow into retirement, the numbers of people wanting meaningful service opportunities, as well as those needing help themselves, will continue to grow. The Center is not an agency. It receives no government or United Way funding. It is a group of caring people who have developed a neighbor-helping-neighbor approach in solving many of the issues of growing older – lack of transportation, isolation, loneliness, and the desire to “give back” in order to find meaning and purpose.
