The Wilmington Senior Center was founded in 1956 and is the oldest senior center in Delaware. Originally located on Jefferson Street, its home since 1964 has been North Market Street in the historic Brandywine Village. The senior center is a non-profit United Way agency governed by a volunteer Board of Directors.

The Wilmington Senior Center is committed to providing opportunities. We believe that older adults are fully capable of managing their own lives when the needed resources are available. Sometimes we can provide exactly what people want and need:

• A hot noon meal in our center or through home-bound delivery
• Part-time employment, job training, referral and placement
• Enriching day or overnight trips
• Computer, art and needlecraft classes
• Individual counseling & case management
• Housing support services through the Samaritan Outreach Center
• The company of others
• A place to come to be welcomed and appreciated

In response to the changing needs of the community at the beginning of a new century, the Wilmington Senior Center has created "A New Era of Caring." Included in our new programming are a Grandparent Resource Center for grandparents who are raising their grandchildren and a Caregiver Resource Center for individuals who are caring for aging relatives and loved ones. We invite interested adults ages 50 and older to join us in our stimulating programs and activities that make life more enjoyable!

The Wilmington Senior Center is committed to assuring equal opportunity to all persons and does not discriminate on the basis of race, creed, color, gender, age, religion, national origin, veteran or handicapped status, or sexual orientation in its programs, activities or employment practices.
