"A Daytime Place Where Seniors Congregate"
The Center is the “Daytime Place Where Seniors Congregate!” Our mission is to
provide the highest quality services for mature adults by fostering a warm, caring
environment where individuals can both explore and enjoy a variety of activities to
enrich their lives.
Our goal is that “The Newburgh Senior Center” will be the destination of choice
for seniors interested in camaraderie, nutritious meals, education, outreach services,
entertainment and adventure.” There are over 140 members and most of them
live independently in homes or apartments in Newburgh and the surrounding area.
The Center is open from 9 am to 3 pm Monday to Thursday and 9 am to 3 pm on
Friday, except holidays. Regularly scheduled monthly activities include: Tai Chi,
exercise, travelogues, bingo, crafts, computer/internet access and education, Wii
sports, cards, fitness activities, health activities, reading room, drama, movies,
live entertainment, consumer education, volunteering and even a kazoo band that
provides community entertainment. Most activities are at no cost.
The Center is a non-profit, 501C3, independent organization providing services
to area seniors through grants, fund raisers, donations and sponsorships. The
Center is a SWIRCA lunch site.
