Welcome to the Friday Five

Halloween Weekend, an Extra Hour of Sleep & More!

It's a spooky kind of Friday! With Halloween tomorrow, we hope your weekend is filled with more treats than tricks. Don't forget to turn your clocks back one hour Saturday night as Daylight Saving Time comes to an end (hello, extra hour of sleep!). And speaking of what's coming up, the November Senior Center calendars are here! Take a look at what's happening across SCS this month and start planning your next visit.


Happy Halloween!

Lend a Hand, Join An SCS Meal Delivery Team!

Our Home-Delivered Meal Program is looking for volunteers to help bring nutritious meals and friendly visits to older adults throughout Delaware County. All of our Senior Centers are looking for helping hands, but Friendship Circle has an especially pressing need for meal runners on Mondays and Fridays. It's a meaningful way to give back, brighten someone's day, and make a difference in the lives of our homebound neighbors. Interested in volunteering? Reach out to learn more!
