​Friends of Salem Senior Center / Center 50+

​

Friends of the Center 50+ was founded in 1992 and  advocates for and supports the City of Salem Center 50+ which is a resource and community gathering place for individuals 50 and over and their caregivers. 

 

We value an age-friendly Salem where people can live and thrive for a lifetime. We believe the most important resource in Salem is the 50+ demographic, the group Center 50+ is designed to serve.

Our mission is to keep this vibrant group of people healthy, involved, and engaged so they can continue to fulfill their role in our community as leaders, supporters, mentors and catalysts of change.
