There are no fees to become a member of the Enterprise Senior Center but donations are greatly appreciated. Donations are used to accomplish day to day operations within the Senior Center. Nutrition centers are legally required to provide members with the opportunity to contribute. Contributions also help nutrition providers keep up with the cost of food and may permit expansion of services. It also helps participants feel that the center belongs to them and that they are partially responsible for the success of the center. The center is open from 7:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and closed on designated holidays. The Senior Center assigns two days for a member to come and eat at the center but members are welcomed to participate in the activities on any day.
If a member is not able to come on their assigned days, we ask them to call by no later than 8:15 a.m. to cancel, so someone else can be contacted to be served that meal.
