Checks Payable To: The Elder Group P. O. Box 14271 Norfolk, VA. 23518

Founded in 2019 by a dedicated brother-and-sister team, The Elder Group was created to serve the very individuals who helped shape our nation: our veterans and seniors.

Every day, we encounter men and women who never imagined they would struggle to afford their next meal. These are heroes and caregivers, individuals who served our country, built our communities, and spent their lives pouring into others. Yet today, far too many face food insecurity, isolation, and emotional hardship in silence.

For some, that silence becomes overwhelming. Loneliness and unmet needs can lead to depression, hopelessness, and even thoughts of suicide. No one who has given so much should have to carry that burden alone.

At the core of our mission is a simple but powerful belief: those who paved the way deserve to age with dignity, stability, and care. We recognize that food is more than nourishment; it represents dignity, health, and hope. And a meaningful connection is more than support; it can be life-saving.

Through compassion, advocacy, and direct support, The Elder Group is committed to restoring hope, meeting essential needs, and ensuring our seniors and veterans are seen, valued, and never forgotten.

With your support, we can provide more than meals; we can offer presence, compassion, and intervention. Together, we can help ensure that no elder or veteran in our community is forgotten, left behind, or left to suffer in silence.

Thank you for standing with us.

Teresa Peek, Executive Director
