DFSS Senior Centers serve as local hubs that connect seniors to social, economic, and educational resources that enhance the quality of their lives. Most importantly, they serve as a vibrant social community, a place for friendship, and a remedy for loneliness or isolation.  Major activities include: life enrichment classes, special events, trips and outings, and recreational activities. The centers serve a hot lunch daily, as part of the department's Golden Diners Program. A comprehensive fitness and wellness program is also offered utilizing nationally recognized evidence-based practices. In addition, community-based Information & Assistance resources are available that can link older adults and their caregivers to benefits and services.
