The Parker County Committee on Aging is working to construct a new senior center with our current capital campaign.

The mission of the Parker County Committee on Aging is to identify and assess the needs of the frail, homebound elderly of Parker County and to provide the services they need to live out their lives with dignity in the safety and comfort of their homes. The organization's active Senior Center serves persons aged 60 and over with nutritional, educational, recreational and social programs.

Established in 1975 in a small building near downtown Weatherford, the Senior Center serves a fast-growing county of 120,000 people, 11% of whom are 65 or older.  The organization is not a federal or state agency.  It receives less than 28% of its annual revenue from government or public sources.  The vast majority of its programs are funded through the very generous support of Parker County's residents, businesses, corporations, and foundations.  The organization has 13 employees and utilizes 125 volunteers per week for the Meals-on- Wheels program alone.  In other programs, another 25 volunteers per week assist the organization.

Active senior citizens, many on limited or fixed incomes, use the current Center's programs to promote good physical health, social interaction and recreation, and lifelong learning.  The Senior Center, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit,  manages a large Meals-on-Wheels program, contacts the homebound daily through volunteers, and assists the elderly seeking Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid information.
