“I love the Colorado Springs Senior Center (CSSC) and Day Trips are wonderful.” Sheila has worked with older adults for 11 years, earning certifications in gerontology, as a senior advisor and CNA and regularly attends classes and seminars to stay current on available resources and programs designed to benefit seniors. She is heading into her 7th year as a patron and 4th year on staff and her passion for helping older adults just continues to grow.
As people age, they can become solitary and disconnected from their family and community. Many times, this is magnified due to the lack of financial resources. By donating to our Annual Support Campaign, you can change the world of a senior who lives on a limited income.
