Services for the Aged
The primary objective of the Senior Center program is to serve as an advocate for persons
sixty (60) years old and older by helping them to achieve a better quality of life.
The Senior Center serves as a focal point on Aging Programs and activities that are designed to meet the mental, emotional, social and physical needs of older adults. This group also exists to enhance senior citizens dignity, support their independence and encourage their involvement in and with the community.
Group activities and classes are provided to meet their recreational and educational needs and interests.
The Senior Center operates five nutrition sites to provide food and health advice to senior citizens. These centers are currently in operation from 10:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday through Friday in Kenansville, Warsaw, Faison, Wallace and Beulaville.
