We provide a meal site for Senior Nutrition Services to serve lunches
daily Monday through Friday. Having lunch at the Senior Center is a great way to gather
socially with fellow senior citizens. Donations for lunch are requested based on your monthly
income. If you're interested in having lunch at the senior center, you need to call (269)
468-5682 two days prior to coming in for lunch.
Volunteers donate their time to drive the center's vehicles to bring
seniors who live in our service area and are 60 years of age or older to medical
appointments, grocery shopping, and rides to the center for lunch. Transportation
is available from 9:00 am - 3:00 pm Monday through Friday and is limited to areas of Berrien
County.
We have wheelchairs, walkers, stool risers, bedside commodes, bathtub
seats, etc. available for short term loan. If you need an item for short-term
use, call us before you buy.
Staff members are available by appointment to help with questions
or assist with filling out applications regarding Medicaid, Medicare, and simple tax
forms such as homestead property tax credit and home heating credit.
We have someone on staff that makes daily calls to seniors living alone
to check on their welfare. Call if you or someone you know needs this service.
