About

The McMinnville Warren County Senior Center, Inc. is a direct outgrowth of the 1965 Older Americans Act which was passed by Congress to assist older persons to achieve some of the following objectives:

1. Retirement in health, honor and dignity.

2. Pursuit of meaningful activity.

3. Freedom, independence, and the free exercise of individual initiative in planning and managing their own lives.

The McMinnville Warren County Senior Center serves as a focal point in the community where older persons as individuals or groups come together for services and activities which enhance their dignity, support their independence and encourage their involvement in and with the community.

There are several types of programs offered at the center. Just visiting with each other, a noon meal, recreation opportunities, playing cards, billiards, special occasion parties, periodic dances and tournaments, and one day trips highlight many of the events.

Health Promotion and Wellness programs, educational activities and services promoting individual lifestyles are also vital parts of the daily activities at the center.

The only requirement is that an individual be 60 years of age or over. It is necessary to complete a Basic Client Information Form then make reservations for activities in which they are interested.
