Services include information, home delivered meals, transportation, in-home services, and day care services. Volunteerism provides services to support community involvement. It provides awareness and opportunities for individuals to get involved. The Department maintains six senior centers, one multigenerational center, and 18 meal sites where seniors may gather for organized activities, socializing and services.
