MSSC CONTINUES TO SERVE SENIORS
(published 08/13/2020)

Mt. Si Senior Center is doing its part to limit gatherings of people in response to the COVID-19 crisis. As such, our onsite programming has been cancelled but our distance programming is underway!

The Center’s Meals to Go program is now serving 50 lunches a day, Monday through Friday, with meals available for curbside pickup or delivery via Snoqualmie Valley Transportation.  These are full, hot meals provided on a donation basis; there is no requirement for participating seniors to pay. The program is intended to benefit seniors who might lack the funds, the physical ability, or the skills to cook themselves a meal.  

To sign up for Meals to Go, call Mt. Si Senior Center at 425-888-3434 and dial extension 0.  

To feed the spirit, Center staff and volunteers are calling hundreds of senior households each week, checking in on the community members seen most frequently at the Center when it was open. If you would like to get a regular call from a friendly volunteer, let us know.

We are also providing online programming - both original online workshops, presentations, and social activities and video'd classes, that quite frankly we couldn't do better.

We are looking at alternatives to make sure that seniors feel connected and cared for. We are in communication with public health officials and will provide updates as we get new information. For the latest information on COVID-19, visit www.cdc.gov.

Mt. Si Senior Center Renovation Project
If you have been by the Senior Center recently, you may have noticed that the Center is undergoing renovations. The new roof looks great and work on the ADA restrooms is nearly complete. The building will also get a much needed new floor in the multi-purpose room, new ADA compliant entrance doors with no touch automatic door openers. We will also have a new big screen information station installed high on the lobby wall so that you can keep up-to-date on events and activities with just a glance from anywhere in the dining room. Don't forget to "Like" Mt. Si Senior Center's Facebook page to get updates and information.

THANKS TO OUR NEWSLETTER ADVERTISERS

Because of our advertisers, Mt. Si Senior Center is able to reach more seniors in North Bend, Snoqualmie and Fall City.  With their support we print and distribute 500 copies of our 20 page, full color newsletter every month.

​We are reaching more seniors. Many seniors already know about the resources and activities available to them at Mt. Si Senior Center. But there are many more seniors and aging adults who would benefit from and even thoroughly enjoy a visit to Mt. Si Senior Center.

​If your business serves adults age 5o and older and you would like to be a distribution location for our newsletter, please contact Susan Kingsbury-Comeau at 425-888-3434 or by email at susan@mtsiseniorcenter.org.
