AMBRIDGE, June 4 – New funding of $71,880 will help ensure that Center Township-based Center at the Mall can continue offering a full range of enriching programs and services for area seniors, state Rep. Rob Matzie announced today.

Matzie, who is chairman of the House Majority Caucus, said the funding will support programs and services that stimulate seniors’ minds and help them stay healthy.

“Science tells us that staying physically and mentally active are keys to aging well, and area seniors have resources for both through Center at the Mall, where free membership provides access to a wide range of engaging programs and services,” Matzie said. “The new funding will allow the center to continue offering activities like healthy lunches, fitness classes, computer labs, group trips, and celebrations that bring seniors together and keep them thriving.”

The grant was awarded through the state Department of Aging. More information is available here: https://www.pa.gov/agencies/aging/newsroom/shapiro-admin-invests-3-million-in-422-senior-centers
