What it reported doing in 2024
The primary purpose of Senior Citizens Council, dba The Hub on Smith, is to improve the quality of life for older adults in Sheridan County by supporting independence and helping prevent premature institutionalization. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, The Hub served over 111,000 nutritious meals, including approximately 71,500 home-delivered and 40,000 congregate meals. Patrons participated more than 20,000 times in Fun and Wellness activities promoting health, social connection, and engagement. Help at Home provided homemaking, personal care, and skilled nursing services to 172 clients, while caregiver programs supported more than 60 individuals. Goose Creek Transit provided approximately 63,000 rides, and Dementia Friendly Wyoming provided education and resources benefitting approximately 1,600 participants. With the support of approximately 340 volunteers, The Hubs programs positively impact more than 3,300 lives annually, helping older adults remain independent, healthy, connected, and engaged.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Grant-funded. 68% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
