Our coffee sponsor for May 13, 2025, is the Concordia Senior Center.
The Concordia Senior Center was formed in April of 1977 as the “Concordia Community Senior Citizens Recreation Center.” At that time, it was located at 121 West Sixth Street in downtown Concordia. A building was later purchased at 109 West Seventh Street and is the current location of the Center. The name was changed to the “Concordia Senior Center” in 2016. The Concordia Senior Center was organized to serve those 60 years of age and over, but has also served the community at large over the years. For example, the public transportation operation, currently run by OCCK, was run out of the Center for several years. The Concordia Senior Center had operated a Meals on Wheels program in conjunction with the North Central Flint Hills Area Agency on Aging until January of 2024. The Center now operates the program independently and has done so since May of 2024. The kitchen has had a complete makeover with new equipment such as sinks, a dishwasher, freezers, a large mixer, a small oven, dishes, utensils and more. This would not have been possible without the generous donations from the community. The Center itself has also had a facelift with new paint, new flooring, and a new parking area behind the building to better accommodate the volunteer drivers for Meals on Wheels. Some of the activities at the Center include a pool table, exercise program for seniors, card games, coffee club, jigsaw puzzles and bingo, in addition to in-house dining five days per week.
