| Senior Center Week |
Monday, September 8th – Saturday, September 13th
 Today’s senior centers are evolving to reflect a new view of aging that empowers the people they serve. They’re connecting older adults with meaningful work and volunteer opportunities, and increasing their access to valuable benefits and resources. Through evidence-based programs, they’re helping them manage their health and finances so they can continue to live in their homes as long as possible. From career counseling and financial planning to tools for staying healthy, there is no doubt senior centers work. Mark your calendars for all of our upcoming events commemorating National Senior Center Week in September!
