If you are sixty years of age or older and young at heart, the Living Center is for you! Established in 1983, the center began with a small room located in the Recreation Center. In 1988 the seniors moved into a new building, the Frank G. Little Senior Center, named in memory of Frank G. Little who served as a long time City Clerk of Muscle Shoals for 22 years. The center offers weekly fellowship and activities for senior adults. Seniors may participate in games of Hand & Foot, Bingo, Rook, skip-bo, dominoes, checkers, or a friendly game of pool. For those who prefer to participate in non-competitive activities, the center offers ceramics, a reading area, and art classes. An exercise program is offered for those who desire a type of physical activity. Educational programs on topics such as nutrition, depression, stress, and safety are often scheduled at the center. The center also serves lunch daily for a nominal donation. For those senior adults who may qualify for the service, the center offers a home-bound lunch program. This program allows those who are unable to visit the center to receive a well-balanced meal in their home. The center offers a covered dish dinner each month. Members participate by contributing their favorite dish or dessert to the dinner, and enjoying an evening of fellowship with friends of the center. The senior adults of the center host the "Bean Supper", a semi-annual social-fund raiser event, held in the Spring and Fall of each year. The seniors have become well known for this popular event in the community. The supper includes beans, slaw, cornbread, desserts, and beverages, all prepared and served by the members of the center.
