TEEG (Thompson Ecumenical Empowerment Group, Inc.) is a small grassroots non-profit social service agency in North Grosvenordale, CT. They began in 1985 as a group of volunteers that joined together to meet the needs of “Three Rows”, the largest mill village in the North Grosvenordale section of Thompson. The community volunteers determined our focus was to create a safe place for children to play and to foster “self-help.” In 1988, TEEG was incorporated as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization.
At TEEG, They have always believed that the quality of their service rests on two things: compassion for those who seek our service, and accountability to those who fund our programs.

Impact
We believe we helped by freshening up the trail to allow the Pomfret Community the opportunity to enjoy it throughout the beautiful Autumn Season. We plan on revisiting the site in the future. This helps the Town of Putnam Parks and Recreation department.
