SENIOR CENTER HAPPENINGS

Fall Flea Market

Saturday Nov. 6

9:00am-2:00pm

Our indoor flea market will showcase more than 30 vendors selling both new and used merchandise, a book sale, a "fill-a-bag" for $5.00 sale (on clothing only) at the Thrift Shop, a raffle and much more. Come on down to the Center at 70 Temple St. and find some great deals. Plenty of free parking in the Nashua Senior Center lot.

Nashua PAL Holiday Toy Collection

The Nashua Senior Center is proud to partner with Nashua PAL as a drop off site for the Annual Holiday Toy Drive. Donations of new items can be made in the Nashua Senior Center lobby through Dec.10. Please help us fill the bin and spread some holiday cheer to local children.

Click on the Nashua PAL logo to learn more about PAL and all that they do in the community.

All members, friends and supporters of the Nashua Senior Activity Center will receive our Annual Appeal mailing in early November. Many members ask why they should donate to the Nashua Senior Center's Annual Appeal since they already pay a membership fee and for classes. The fact is that the 100% self-funded Nashua Senior Activity Center depends on your donations to keep operating. Every day the Center is open it costs approximately $1629 but approximately only $183 is generated from membership dues. The remaining expense must be generated by rentals, class fees, retail sales, trips, fundraising events, and donations. As you can imagine, during the COVID-19 pandemic, many of our traditional revenue streams were non-existent. Each and every donation makes a difference to the NSAC's mission as a resource in the Greater Nashua area. The Center creates an environment for successful aging.

We encourage everyone to live generously and donate to the Annual Appeal.
