Senior Center Highlight: The Oasis Senior Center of Lincoln, IL

The Oasis Senior Center of Lincoln, IL is a full-service center to its community!

Since the Senior Center’s inception, it has been located in Lincoln, Illinois, which is the county seat for Logan County.  An old bank building served as home for the organization until June of 2013 when a lightening strike caused a fire destroying the building. The Center opened a new facility, located on the west side of Lincoln (2810 Woodlawn Road), in July 2014 to continue its services to the seniors of Logan County.  

The average age of members is 72 years, but there is no age requirement to join. Currently, our youngest member is 11 and oldest is 102!

OUR MISSION
​​To provide a place where senior citizens, as individuals or in groups, come together for services and activities which enhance their dignity, support independence and encourage their involvement in and with the community.

The center offers links and access to many community resources. 

"AS YOU WALK THROUGH THE DESERT OF LIFE, MAY YOU ALWAYS FIND YOUR OASIS, A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN FIND SAFETY AND SUSTENANCE." AS SUCH, SOMETIMES WE NEED TO COLLABORATE WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO HELP PROVIDE SERVICES TO HELP PEOPLE REMAIN SAFE AND SUSTAINED. Community Resources (oasisseniorcenter.com) At this link, there are several links to community resources such as the Community Action Agency, Food Pantries, and City of Lincoln resources: click to explore!
