Since 1978 the Sewanee Senior Center has provided support, a flourishing food program and Senior exercise program to the Sewanee community. All of this is currently in jeopardy due to the pressing need for major structural repairs to the building.

The center hopes to continue providing meals to 50 seniors a day, chair exercise classes, and provide community and fellowship to all. The meal program includes in-house lunches, take-outs, and deliveries to shut-ins 5 days a week year-round.

In order to continue with its operations in a safe and timely manner, the building needs immediate structural repairs. This will allow the center to meet the following goals:

To continue to serve nutritious “home cooked” meals.

To Provide a safe, caring environment for fellowship.

To Continue to hold special Meals for Thanksgiving, Christmas and the general meeting and luncheon in June.

To Continue the Chair Exercise Program

To Continue Arts and Crafts, quilt making and sewing projects.

To Continue to offer meeting space to the local community.

As a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, fees for membership are not required. Operating funds are generated through an annual Christmas Bazaar, a Community Chest grant and funding from Franklin County. The much-needed improvements will depend upon donations from individuals such as yourself.
