Who We Are and
What We Do
Seniors4Wellness is a non-profit founded by Vince Ventimiglia, a 50-year resident of Evergreen and a former employee of The Yellow House. Vince knows how important The Yellow House was to the Mountain communities and the void left when it closed. That’s why Seniors4Wellness is dedicated to providing the services and resources our older adults need as well as a welcoming environment to socialize and engage in activities that promote wellness and joy.
