Our Mission
The Amherst Senior Citizens Foundation, Inc. is committed to raising and distributing funds to support services and activities that promote the welfare and vitality of senior citizens in the town of Amherst.
Our History
Since 1992, the Foundation has made numerous contributions to agencies serving seniors. Among them: funds for the purchase of vans for Amherst Senior Transportation Services (ASTS), subsidies for those who cannot afford the Amherst Adult Day Services program (AADS) or the cost of Amherst Meals on Wheels (MOW), handicapped doors, furniture and kitchen equipment for the Center for Senior Services, a refrigerator for MOW, and sponsorship of the annual Volunteer Recognition Luncheon and various support groups. The list goes on and on.
The Senior Center
While the 53,000 square-foot, state-of-the-art Center for Senior Services is the hub of senior services in our community, the Foundation is dedicated to continuing to provide first-class equipment and programs for all the senior residents of the Town of Amherst, not only those who are members of the Center. Its support of the agencies mentioned above is testimony to that dedication.
