Meals at the Aging Up Community Center or delivered to your home, plus rides, activities, and support for Clinton County adults 60 and older.
Clinton County Community Action Program has a wide variety of senior services that we operate out of the Wilmington Savings Bank Clinton County Aging Up Community Center. The WSB Clinton County Aging Up Community Center opened in 2001 at 717 North Nelson Avenue, Wilmington, Ohio. It is a perfect location for seniors to spend time doing a multitude of activities. They can even stay an entire day, as the center operates a kitchen to provide meals to the seniors. The center is open Monday–Friday, 8:00 am–3:30 pm.
The Aging Up Community Center is a multipurpose recreational facility.Community Action is dedicated to helping all seniors of Clinton County enhance their quality of life through programs of socialization, nutrition, education, recreation, transportation, and health.
We strive to provide the linkage to meet the needs and requests of older adults for services and leisure activities, as well as socialization. Senior activities should be participant driven and participant led to encourage senior independence and senior choice. Our Senior Center strives to provide a variety of quality programs offered at flexible hours to meet the needs of our members. In order to strengthen our mission, we will strive to attract younger participants and promote fiscal responsibility to senior center operation.
Congregate dining is offered daily at the center at 11:30 am to Clinton County residents ages 60+ for a suggested donation of $5.00. This is a Title III lunch program that provides 1/3 of the recommended daily nutrition requirements of older adults. Reservations are required in advance for this service. You can reserve in person or by calling 937-382-7170.
A la carte meals may also be purchased from 11:30 am–12:30 pm.
