The Center is such a vital and important piece of the seniors' life that it is a true staple of our community that stands true to our mission: ''Nurture all seniors mind, body and spirit."
This year especially due to COVID, our donations are drastically down, food costs have increased tremendously as well as utilities. In a small town of 3,033 population and three part time employees, The Nocona Senior Center prepares on an average 3,123 meals a month. (This number includes take out and dining in). The Center also provides pet food for 28 recipients on our routes. We deliver pet food every Monday morning to 27 dogs 18 cats and 1 bird. Most seniors who have pets tend to live longer and have a reason to get up every day.
