Dedicated Service to Tarrant County Seniors  

Mission "To help older adults build a brighter future for themselves and their community by enabling them to live independently with dignity."

Senior Citizen Services of Greater Tarrant County, Inc., is a non-profit organization that provides a wide range of programs and services that enable senior adults to live independently with dignity. Founded in 1967 with one senior center on Hemphill Street, the agency has grown to thirty (30) centers located throughout the county. One of the major programs of SCS is the Congregate Meal Program which has provided 235,500 delicious, nutritious hot meals to 6,000 seniors at the area senior centers throughout the year. Opportunities for active volunteer involvement in community service are afforded in 150 non-profit organizations through the RSVP program, as well as in the senior centers. The 2,348 volunteers have donated 262,363 hours of service to the community. The programs were created to provide services that address the nutritional, physical, informational/educational, and social needs of the seniors facing aging and isolation.

The Game Room is enjoyed by many on Wednesdays and sometimes on Mondays and Fridays.  Players interact and paricipate in such games as Train,  Chickenfoot, "42" or whatever they wish.  An assortment of other cards and games are readily available.   Folks are encouraged to bring their favorite game/s from home and invite others to join in.   

Several members of the community are interested in organizing a Bunco game night.   Please call the Center if you would be interested in adding your name to the list or would like to be the designated host for the group.   (open & close the building on game night)    817-732-5885

The Community Center is seeking folks who enjoy playing Bridge and who will teach or start up a regular Bridge group.     817-732-5885
