Help Support Healthy Aging

According to the National Council on Aging, older adults who participate in senior center programs experience better psychological well-being across several measures compared to non-participants, including higher levels of health, increased social interaction, and a greater life sastisfaction. Research also shows older adults who participate in senior center programs, like the ones SWIRCA provides, can learn to manage and delay the onset of chronic disease and experience measurable improvements in their physical, social, spiritual, emotional, mental, and economic well-being.

However in order to maintain operations and provide a wide variety of programs, SWIRCA's Activity Center needs community support. Your gift of $30 can provide one annual membership to SWIRCA’s Activity and Wellness Center for a local senior. Or a monthly gift of $25 or $0.82 a day will help us hire and train additional instructors and provide education and recreational opportunities for adults 50+.
