Since 1967, the Mid-City Senior Center has been serving the elderly residents of the downtown neighborhoods. The center is open five days a week and provides a warm, inviting, and safe atmosphere for men and women who are predominantly living alone, isolated in apartment rooms, and existing on incomes far below the federal Poverty level. These senior citizens are at risk nutritionally due to inadequate resources to purchase, store, and prepare food. On a daily basis, they cope with inadequate housing, poverty, loneliness, health problems, and a neighborhood beset by drug trafficking and related crime.

Mid-City is the "Center" of these senior's lives. When their apartments are poorly heated and they haven't enough money for food, they come in to get warm and to socialize with their peers in a safe wholesome environment. They receive assistance from a caring staff, trained to help them with problem solving and to make appropriate referrals for other needed services. We continue our advocacy program to further promote this cause for independence. Most important, they are treated with respect and kindness---and encouraged to treat each other in the same way.

The Mid-City Senior Center continues providing "hot" lunch meals, 5 days a week. The suggested donation is 3.50 per meal.

Breakfasts are provided five days a week. Suggested donation is $2.00 for members. The Senior Center also continues to be a Level II demonstration site for Eastern Washington Area Agency on Aging's new congregate site plan. A Level II site provides services to elderly participants with special needs; including case management, information and referral, educational programs.

Hot Meals are served Monday through Friday at 11:00 a.m. Reservations are encouraged.
