Overview

Mission

The organization provides recreational and social activities, meals and social services for senior citizens regardless of ability to pay or membership status.

What it reported doing in 2025

Continued serving seniors through multiple activities with more services and programs opening up throughout 2025. We served more than 4,900 hot meals at the Center and delivered more than 3,460 hot meals to the homebound. We enriched and engaged with the senior community by offering 20+ in-person activities and programs every week including classes; presentations about multiple topics including local history, end of life planning, arts and culture, elder law and other issues affecting seniors. Thanks to grant support a geriatric social worker joined our team and provided much-needed support and connections for our senior community. We continued Spinal Mobility, Zumba, Tai Chi, and other wellness programs including blood pressure checks and foot care. Senior Center Village volunteers gave nearly 400 off-island rides to medical appointments and provided over 100 other services including tech coaching, chore support and more to help seniors live independently at home. All together nearly 200 Center and Village volunteers contributed 7,260+ hours delivering lunches, making salads and hosting programs and classes.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
