“Recognizing the tsunami of the Boomer generation aging in place, the need for social service programs and services for this growing population will continue to be a lifeline for many seniors on low and fixed incomes who were fortunate enough to have selected Silicon Valley as their home many years ago.” 

– Jeff Tepper, President

“Sourcewise has afforded me the opportunity to channel my 40 plus years of experience in the public sector, political arena, and non-profit world to advocate for much needed services on behalf of our aging population in Santa Clara County. “
