How our Senior Center “Works”
The Boone County Senior Activity and Wellness Center is “An equal
opportunity provider and employer.”
We serve older adults of Boone County. We never charge a fee for our
services for seniors age 60 or above, but we ask a donation for all of our services.
We also don’t turn anyone away for inability to give a donation for our services.
Our Center is funded 40% from State and Federal funding. The other 60% is
from a variety of different sources. United Way of Boone County Inc. provides a
portion of funding. Another portion is given from Boone County Quorum
Court. The remainder of funding comes from clients giving contributions as they
use our much needed services, outside donations and fundraisers done at the
Center and in our community.
We ask a suggested donation of $4 for congregate and Home Delivered Meals
and $3-$5 for transportation in town. There are also donation boxes in the
exercise and computer rooms to help with costs of maintaining our equipment.
