Valley Senior Citizens
The Valley Community Association Senior Citizen Program is designed to encourage and maintain healthy lifestyles in elderly residents of the Buffalo River Community by providing affordable healthy meals, facilitated physical activity, peer interaction and socialization, and health care navigation and access to support services. Program activities include congregate dining, low-impact aerobics exercise, cards and BINGO, healthy aging education, recreational activities, day trips, and more. Transportation is also provided for those in need. Through collaborations and partnerships, the program also gives the local senior population access to regular on-site free screenings and consultations. The VCA Senior Program is dedicated to promoting preventative measures and provides a network of support to improve the quality of life in the local senior population.
The program is held at the Geraldine Butler Senior Center, located at the Valley Community Center at 93 Leddy Street, Buffalo, New York 14210.
