Our Mission
Doing good for those who do good
The Senior Living Ministries Story
Founded around the kitchen table in 2002 by Gary and Ricki Keckley of GoodWorks Unlimited, LLC, Senior Living Ministries, Inc. (SLM) is a Tennessee-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the needs of caregivers of senior adults. In 2024 the Keckleys decided it was time to scale up the non-profit with the goal of meeting the growing need of seniors.
The all-volunteer board of 3 added 3 volunteer officers: an operations officer, finance officer and community relations officer. With a generous sponsorship from GoodWorks covering administrative overhead, a website was created along with an online giving platform, social media and advertising materials. 2024-2025 saw tremendous growth in community awareness of our mission.
Through charitable contributions to our CARES and THANKS programs, you can help support every single person connected to our communities, be it in the form of:
- Financial aid for residents and their families
- Additional education and training for caregivers
- Recognizing and rewarding community members and staff for their service
We look forward to many upcoming years of donor engagement but especially to the positive impact on many more lives with your help.
Join us in making a difference. Donate today to support caregivers and enhance the lives of senior adults in our communities!
