SENIOR SERVICES

The Reelfoot Senior Center offers senior citizens a variety of activities including a noon meal each weekday, Monday through Friday. Those seniors able to come to the Center are transported to and from home. Activities include seminars, games, recreation, exercise, entertainment and field trips – all designed to keep seniors active and involved.

Seniors volunteer in several other RRM programs including the Toy Store and Food Distribution.

Almost 5,000 Senior Meals are served each year to those 15 to 20 seniors who come to the Center each weekday. Approximately 70 Christmas Food Boxes are given each year to those senior families who attend the Center or receive home-delivered meals. Boxes contain a ham or turkey in addition to the contents of our regular food box. For many families these food boxes are their primary source of Christmas Dinner.

Home-Delivered Meals delivers approximately 11,000 meals each year to elderly persons who are no longer able to attend the Center. Due to financial, physical or mental problems, many of these persons would go hungry or eat poorly without someone to bring meals to their home. For many seniors these meals increase their independent living by five or more years.
