July’s Special Collection is to benefit Meals on Wheels Spokane and their downtown Mid-City Concerns program.

Since 1967 Mid-City Senior Center has provided a nutritional and social lifeline for seniors through our downtown meal site in Spokane and Meals on Wheels delivery to elderly, disabled home bound seniors. The center is open five days a week and provides a warm, inviting, and safe atmosphere for men and women who are predominantly living alone.

Our senior center offers activities such as arts & crafts, Wii bowling, karaoke, movies & popcorn days, and bingo sponsored by United Healthcare. Take me to the Meals on Wheels Spokane online calendar.

We also provide a monthly birthday celebration the second Friday of each month, and have live music for special occasions.

With the help of more than 450 volunteers, Meals on Wheels serves over 500 meals daily and more than 170,000 meals each year. The objective of Meals on Wheels Spokane is to provide the proper nutrition to those individuals who cannot meet the need on their own. This service allows individuals to remain in their own homes and reduce premature out of home placement. It also allows a patient to leave a hospital, nursing care or rehab earlier, thereby encouraging the convalescing process in the familiar surroundings of the person’s own home.

They are also the only Meals on Wheels program in Washington state to also have a senior center attached to our facility (Mid-City Concerns). Mid-City Senior Center is the “Center” of these seniors’ lives. They receive assistance from a caring staff, trained to help them with problem solving and to make appropriate referrals for other needed services. Most importantly, they are treated with respect and kindness.
