Services to Members

TENT is here to help.

These are the services that Taos Elders and Neighbors Together (TENT) offers to Members and for the Office (below). 
Availability of a service depends on having a volunteer available at the time you need it.

We take requests every day, 9am – 5pm, up to a month in advance. Call 575/224-6335.

Note: Those services (except phone calls) are limited to 3 per week.
