This Senior Center Month we invite you to 'Discover Yours'
Celebrated every year in September, National Senior Center Month is a time to shine a light on senior centers, showing the entire nation how vital they are to the health and well-being of a community. Senior centers provide countless hours of support and encouragement to older adults and have become integral to healthcare delivery in our communities by providing COVID-19 guidance, vaccine education, and vaccinations to their participants. They offer a place for older adults to discover their unique interests, talents, and aspirations. 

Senior centers work with community partners to provide access to health, economic security, social engagement, purpose, creativity, mobility, and nutrition—all in a social and fun environment. Peoria is the 8th largest city in Illinois and the ONLY one in the top 10 that does NOT have such a center! The time is NOW to change that!  

This is WHY Peoria NEEDS a community-based center for older adults! Research PROVES that having access to a welcoming place to make connections and friends, have enjoyable activities together, learn about community resources that can help close the gap of services needed, and learn new things that enrich lives, the possibilities are endless! Join us at our satellite programs and weekly programs to learn more and discover the joys of having a center to enhance the lives of older adults.
