Community Engagement

Extending support and connection to neighbors beyond Tel Hai.

Connecting with our neighbors throughout the surrounding community has been a deeply-rooted priority in Tel Hai’s culture for over 65 years. Our primary focus, of course, is on empowering the lives of our team members and residents. Even so, we also do what we can to nurture the well-being of individuals, organizations, and businesses across the Brandywine Valley.

Tel Hai’s community involvement and service to neighbors takes many forms. Sometimes it is providing access to quality care for seniors, educational efforts, and cultural programs. Other times, it’s opportunities in faith, recreational activities, affordable senior housing, and more.

2027 ‘Charity of Choice’ Program Selection Timeline
