Thanks to generous startup funding from the Vicksburg Foundation, we have started a small senior center in the Vicksburg United Methodist Church! The South County Senior Center for Active Living is open to anyone 55 years of age or better and focuses on bringing opportunities for socialization and other senior programming to the South County area. We are currently running programs on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.

We’d love to connect with you! Please feel free to reach out to Sherri Martin at 269-720-0974 or smartin@southcountycs.com and follow us on the Senior Center Facebook!

Please consider donating to the Senior Center!  With your gift you are helping to further support seniors in the South County area to participate in all of our amazing programs FREE of cost or low-cost for art classes.

Please note: The South County Senior Center is CLOSED today, 1/22, due to inclement weather.
