The Origins of the Senior Center

In 1971, residents of Madison County were concerned about unmet needs of elderly persons in Madison County. They had a dream of organizing a Senior Center that would meet the needs of the elderly and enable them to live a more productive life. This dream of a center would give the elderly a chance to interact and socialize with other seniors. Eventually their dream became a reality.

Goals For A New Senior Center Building

The present location does not have sufficient space to meet the needs of the elderly population due to an increase in population growth and needs of the elderly. The present site is 4,634 square feet. The Board of Directors, Advisory Council and Executive Director are having fund-raises to build a multi-purpose Senior Center that will sufficiently meet the needs of the elderly population. The square footage for the future site is 10,000 square feet.

The organization is seeking donations for this needed building,. If you would like to make a donation or have any questions, do not hesitate to contact Rosa Richardson, Executive Director at 850-973-4241 or 850-973-2006. We also accept donations online via credit card.
