Frontier Senior Center

About Frontier Senior Center

The Frontier Senior Center was opened in Anderson, California in 1996 by the Anderson Area Asscociation of Senior Citizens Organizations (AAASCO), a private non-profit corporation. The center was opened thorugh the efforts of a group of citizens in the south county who were frustrated with a senior nutrition program which had moved eight times in then years. The south county was also experiencing an explosion in the number of senior residents, drawing attention to the need to help seniors remain independent and engage in activities to combat isolation, maintain health, and avoid premature institutionalization. The center has become a focal point for activities in South Shasta County, which operates without federal, state or county funds. Operating funds come from income generated by facility rental, monthly community breakfasts, a ETC Thrift Store operated by the seniors, donations, and fundraisers. The Board of Directors is made up of six community members and four members of the Frontier Senior Center
