South Park Senior Citizens (SPSC) is located in the South Park Neighborhood Center, in the heart of South Park, where we provide services from a historic brick fire station. SPSC works to support seniors, and those living with disabilities, as they explore healthy and active lives. Our participants are primarily of Asian and Pacific Islander descent, many are navigating language and cultural barriers, and most are living at, or below, the poverty line. SPSC is a vibrant place for community to gather, friends to be made, and culture to be celebrated. Our Seniors gather to enjoy homemade meals, singing, dancing, exercise classes, education and learning opportunities, and specialized programming. Many of our Seniors are living vulnerable lives - SPSC is also a place where they can receive social service supports and resources, available in multiple languages.

I simply love SPSC! I have been on the board of directors for almost a year now and it's filled with the good people doing incredible work. I am so thankful for Volunteer Match providing the connection point!
