This is a great place to be.”

Help Us Thrive

The Center is a “home away from home” for many seniors — and a lifeline. With inflation cutting into fixed incomes of seniors this year, we are asking for community support to meet the growing need (and cost) for supplies, programs, and services for our aging community. A gift of any amount to the SESSC means so much to our members and clients in the Rainier Valley and beyond. Support your diverse, aging community today with your most generous gift!
