The mission of a Senior Center is to help seniors live independently in the community
by providing programs that maintain or improve the mental, physical and emotional
health of those who are 50+. Frequently, we refer to these as Mind, Body, and Spirit
programs. Your application should describe the programs you provide. Tell us how you
meet this mission with programs that focus on maintaining and improving the mental,
physical and emotional health focus of participants and programs you believe help
seniors live independently. Please justify how the program does this. (e.g.; it improves
health, nutritional habits, mental well-being; physical strength; well-being of the senior
population of their community) along with a brief narrative stating reasons for the
nomination.
