Somerset Senior Citizens Center
About Somerset Senior Citizens Center
At Somerset Senior Citizens Center, a free breakfast or lunch can be the start of a much steadier day. Older adults in Somerset and the surrounding area can also get transportation, food boxes, and help with everyday needs like utilities and appliance replacement. Last fiscal year, the center served 4,380 meals, provided 2,830 transportation trips, and distributed 885 Commodity Supplement food boxes. For donors, that means support that shows up in ways people can feel right away, at the table, on the way to an appointment, and at home.
What sets the center apart is how practical it is. A meal can come with a ride, food support can come with help for utilities, and the center also serves as a place for classes and activities that support daily living. That makes it less like a single service desk and more like a dependable part of daily life in Somerset.
