Thursday, April 2, 2009 • Posted April 2, 2009

The San Saba Multi-Service Senior Center, 705 E. Storey, provides activities and services that meet the diverse needs of mature adults in the community and seeks to assist them in maintaining healthy and independent lives through programs that enrich the body, mind and spirit. Sign up for an exercise class, join the book club or get involved in community outreach projects. The Senior Center also offers seminars, special events and a variety of activities including dominoes and card games. Additionally, the Center provides informational materials on senior housing, transportation and safety programs, and offers access to energy assistance and weatherization.

Several groups, including IMPACT, the Alzheimer’s and Bereavement support groups, meet at the Center on a monthly basis. The Hill Country Transit office is also located on site.

Who Can Use the Services?

You don’t have to wait until you’re 65 to use our services. Most activities are open to adults age 50 and above. Some services, such as Meals on Wheels, and reduced contribution congregate meals require a minimum age of 60.

San Saba Senior Center hours are Monday thru Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The Center is also available for weekend rentals for private events. For more information call 325-372-5833.

Meals:

Hill Country Community Action Association (HCCAA) along with grants from the Texas Area Agency on Aging (AAA) and the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS) , provide meals at the Center as well as home-delivered meals to qualifying seniors. The Meals on Wheels Program delivers meals to qualified, homebound adults age 60 and above who are unable to shop or cook for themselves. Hot meals can be delivered Monday through Friday.

Lunch is offered at the Senior Center, Monday through Friday, at 12:00 noon, for seniors regardless of income. A contribution of $3.00 is requested from persons age 60 and above, and $5.00 is requested from those under age 60. Lunch is served in a relaxed, dining atmosphere and seniors receive a delicious, nutritious meal.

There are many volunteer opportunities at the Center, or if you would like to make a donation of money, goods or services, please contact the Center at 325-372-5833.
