Overview

Mission

WCSC connects and empowers older adults to live happy, healthy, and engaged lives.

What it reported doing in 2024

Health and Wellness Programs: We are currently offering more health and wellness programs than last year. Currently we offer Enhance Fitness, SAIL, Strength Training, and two levels of Yoga class. Our fitness classes drive the highest level of attendance to the senior center. Good Food & Healthy Eating: Our Community Lunch program has grown over the past year, and we are on track to serve a record 5000 meals in 2025. We also continue to offer community events such as Spaghetti Dinner, as well as cultural experiences through food such as our Ethiopian New Year Celebration and Meal. Recreation and Education: We have doubled our outings per year we now conduct 25 annually. We also have higher attendance to our drop-in recreation programs than before.

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. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
