The
Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce is proud to recognize Sandpoint Senior
Center as February’s Business/Non-profit of the Month.
“This
month, I have the honor of recognizing a business that goes above and beyond
for the seniors in our community,” said Ken Wood, Chamber Ambassador and the
Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce’s Chair-elect announced the attendees of
the Chamber’s February General Membership Luncheon.
There’s
an enormous amount of pride the staff of 15 puts into the business. Last year,
the Senior Center delivered over 15,000 meals to local seniors in our area.
These meals are delivered Monday-Friday using an all-volunteer effort. It
should be noted, many of the seniors they deliver to would not receive quality
daily meals if it was not for the efforts of the Senior Center.
In
addition to the Meals on Wheels program, they served more than 10,000 meals at
their physical location. Those who attend or frequent the Senior Center are able
to socialize and develop friendships, as well as participate in activities like
bingo and billiards.
Another
large focus for the Senior Center has been the Daybreak Center. This center
provides relief for caregivers that are dealing with people who have dementia, Alzheimer’s
and other types of aging medical issues.
“They
truly care about our local seniors,” Ken Wood went on to explain.
Please
join the Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce in congratulating Sandpoint Senior
Center for their success and thanking them for their commitment to our community.
