who can benefit
Anyone 60 years and older who would like to use the services provided by Seniors On Center. Please see the Membership information at the bottom of this page for details.
what is the cost?
Although these services are not free, many of them are provided on a donation basis. Clients are asked to give as much as they can toward the actual cost. The rest is provided by grant and levy dollars. The more the client donates, the more people can be helped with the money available.
Recreational activities cannot be funded by Grant money, so the full cost of these activities are paid for entirely by levy funds and the participants.
how to participate
Call our office any week day between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. to find out about the activities and services available. And if there is another activity you would like to see provided at the center, tell the staff member you're talking to and your suggestion will be considered.
be a volunteer
Many services are provided by a dedicated group of people who receive no pay for what they so caringly do.
Volunteers deliver over 100 meals to shut-ins all over the county daily. For many of these shut-ins, this is the only contact they have daily.
Several caring individuals make up the Board of Directors, who help run the agency. Call Seniors on Center if you would like to apply to be a Board Member.
