You can change the world of a senior who lives on a limited income. You can offer
them the opportunity to take classes, get away on fun day trips, and attend
special events with people from their own generation. Your donation will allow a senior struggling with financial challenges to join the Senior Center and enjoy conversation, camaraderie and a cup of coffee with friends. Donations
of any size are very much appreciated. For only $135, you can sponsor a full year’s worth of activities.
