The Heart of Our Community: Partners & Volunteers

Partners and volunteers are the essential “glue” that holds the Senior Center together.  Their dedication ensures our doors stay open and our programming remains vibrant.

Our Dedicated Partners

Our community partners do more than just provide services; they step away from their own businesses to invest in you.  Whether they are leading educational presentations, sponsoring events, or providing generous financial and in-kind donations, their support is a cornerstone of our success.

Our Incredible Volunteers

Volunteers are truly an extension of our staff.  On any given day, you will find them:

  • Greeting you at the front desk
  • Leading classes and sharing their expertise
  • Coordinating special events
  • Providing live music and entertainment
  • Helping in the kitchen and dining room

The impact of this work is staggering.  In 2025 alone, volunteers dedicated 6,188 hours of service to our center.

The next time you see a partner or volunteer, please take a moment to say than you.  Our community simply wouldn’t be the same without them.

 

Thank you!
