DEPARTMENT OUTLINE: SENIOR CITIZEN CENTER

The Kennedale Senior Center provides access to community resources, nutrition, health and
entertainment activities that promote social connection, vibrant aging, and life-long learning
and enable the emotional and physical well-being of independent adults over 55. Our goal is to
provide opportunities for seniors that meet their changing needs, improve their quality of life,
and empower them to live life to the fullest.
