NY Senior Centers are about to be slashed.
ByMore than 100 senior centers in NY state are scheduled to close. Our budget deficit is so large that drastic cuts need to be made. These cuts will especially impact those who had a well balance meal at the senior centers. NY Senior Centers also provide a place for folks to congregate and socialize. So many programs will be in danger. What about the social workers located at these senior centers. Not only will the Social Workers be out of a job, seniors will not have them as a resource. Senior centers provide access to many needs based programs available throughout our state. Without the Senior Centers and their staff many of our Seniors would not even no where to begin to get help.
