YELLOW SPRINGS SENIOR CENTER
Welcome
Our Mission is to enhance the dignity and quality of life for seniors in Yellow Springs and Miami Township and to foster interaction among them with the total community.
COVID Procedures & ReopeningIf you are 65 or older, you can go to the Greene County Public Health Alert website (link just below) to sign up to be notified by email when clinics are available for your phase (once you're on that website, look for the purple button).
If you have a vaccine appointment and need a ride:
Greene County Public Health has started vaccinations at the former Greene County Career Center site, 2960 W. Enon Road in Xenia. You must be signed up on the list prior to attending this clinic and have received notification to attend. The list is a running list and as vaccine doses are received, GCPH will notify the next batch of residents on the list. Greene CATS is offering rides to seniors to get their vaccines and policies depend on the location.
Call (937) 708-8322 (option 1). Details are on their website: https://www.greenecountyohio.gov/265/Scheduling-a-Trip More vaccine information available at the following links:
All in-person activities are cancelled for the time being and we will reassess opening when the Public Health Advisory system moves the county back down to level 2. Homemaking, transportation, grocery delivery are still operational, staff are answering phone and emails, and we have several fitness and social events on-line through Zoom, Facebook, and YouTube. All of these links are located on the Calendar. You can read more about our plans to reopen and the procedures for when we do reopen the building.
