About Sellers Senior Center Inc
At Sellers Senior Center, lunch is on the table five days a week, and the rest of the week is built around the kinds of activities people actually come back for, bingo, bridge, bunco, canasta, exercise classes, card-making, painting, and more. For adults 50 and older in Wilmington, it is also a practical place, with newsletter updates, transportation guidance, and legal information available alongside the social side. If you want to support a center that helps older neighbors eat well, stay active, and stay informed, this is exactly that kind of place.
What stands out here is the mix of everyday usefulness and regular community rhythm. Sellers Senior Center pairs weekday meal service with a steady schedule of activities and member resources, and membership is open to anyone 50 or older regardless of religion, gender, race, or color.
