California City Senior Center Association

​California City, CA – In a celebration of dedication and service, the California City Chamber of Commerce has awarded the Senior Center Association with its inaugural "Business of the Year" award. This prestigious recognition, introduced this year, honors businesses that exemplify outstanding commitment to the local community. The winner was chosen through a community voting process, reflecting the widespread appreciation for the Senior Center’s significant contributions.

 

A Cal City Staple

For over two decades, the Senior Center Association has been a cornerstone of California City, providing invaluable support to the city’s senior population. The center offers a variety of programs designed to enhance the quality of life for older adults, including recreational activities, health programs, and educational workshops. These initiatives aim to combat isolation, promote overall well-being, and foster a strong sense of community among seniors.

Providing for our Community

Beyond its enriching programs, the Senior Center Association plays a crucial role in providing essential services that support independent living. Meal programs ensure that seniors receive nutritious meals, while transportation assistance helps them maintain mobility and access vital resources. Additionally, wellness check-ins provide a safety net for those who may need extra support, reinforcing the center’s commitment to the well-being of the aging population.
