Enriching the lives of our senior neighbors through friendship, activities, education, nourishment and education.

We look forward to seeing more of you later this summer…. WCASC is proud to announce that we’ve now surpassed distributing OVER

141,000 MEALS to our seniors! That’s right! Since COVID-19 forced our closure last spring, we’ve sourced, sorted, organized, and distributed MORE THAN FIVE TIMES the food we

served last year to hundreds of seniors in need in our community! In addition to our ongoing Food Distribution program, we also continue to offer

virtual programming and support to our seniors in many different ways. Among many other things, we’ve successfully raised significant funds to enable us to make several improvements and upgrades inside of our building including installation of automatic

no-touch door openers (just wave your hand!), plexiglass dividers, and automatic no-touch lighting, sinks, soap dispensers, and toilets/urinals.

We are just beginning replacement of flooring throughout our facility!

In addition to the small areas we’ve previously replaced, we’ll now be able to also replace the remaining 16-year-old carpeting.

After that, we will soon be announcing even more exciting news about our future

re-opening plans and another wonderful project that is currently in its final planning stages now. LOTS happening inside to prepare for your safe return!
