Wallingford Community Senior Center

Did you know WCSC is now offering free blood pressure readings for the whole community? Drop-in next week to find out your blood pressure and stay informed on your health!

You're invited to our annual fundraiser, Share to Care, on November 5th to celebrate and support seniors in Seattle! This special event includes hors d’oeuvres, drinks, two inductions into our Hall of Gratitude, and a live auction.

Our goal is to raise $25,000 to expand our programs and services, to continue meeting seniors where they’re at to empower them to live happy, healthy, and engaged lives. Programs like our 1-on-1 technology mentoring, fresh-grocery access, and sliding scale lunch have opportunities to be expanded but we need your help!

You can register now to help support WCSC’s mission to connect and welcome seniors to powerful resources needed in their journey of healthy aging.
