Serving with Integrity and Purpose

Thank you for visiting our page!

We are a local Senior Center within the Shelby, Ohio Community focused on serving our area seniors and our community, with a safe and inviting atmosphere centered around friends and family. 

 Our organization is thankful for the continued support of our local businesses, community partners, as well as the many people that call Shelby home. 

The Shelby Community and Senior Center mainly serves our senior population through a variety of program offerings that include:

Holiday Parties

Cardio Classes

Chair Yoga and Strength Training

Men's Euchre

Co-Ed Euchre

Bus Trips

Crafts Classes

Community Events

Health Fairs

Facility Rentals

Twice-Monthly BP/Sugar checks by Shelby Health Dept. 

And More!

We operate through charitable donations, memberships, rentals of the facility, grants and memorial contributions. Unlike other area Senior Centers, our particular organization does not receive levy monies or continual state funding. We rely solely on the generosity of our community, funding partners and members to keep our doors open and our programming viable.

Because of our on-going relationships, partnerships, generosity of our community and some integral donations of time and talents by highly skilled individuals, Shelby Community and Senior Center was able do some much needed security, computer and safety updates to the building, replace and enhance the technical infrastructure this past year and add new mics, wiring and audio equipment to our building. 

We have been able to bring the Center more current with regard to security not only in the office space, but throughout the whole interior of the building. 

We hope to continue to build upon the established foundation as we continue to grow, evolve and add to the wonderful things we've accomlished thus far in 2025!

GOALS for 2026:

It is our goal to implement an added level of security to the exterior and entrance of the building, matching what we now have in place inside the facility. We will eventually need to replace the exterior lighting around the building, as they are not very bright and some of the wiring is beginning to malfunction in inclement weather. We have some errosion issues needing to be addressed very soon as well. All of these things, though partially aesthetic in nature, are most important for the safety of all those that use our parking lot, especially our senior citizens. 

Our Board of Directors, Leadership and Members are ever-thankful for the continued support from our friends and our community in their unwavering support. You allow us to continue offering a valuable service to our seniors and community, as well as focus on what we feel is our Main Thing: Operating and caring for one another as a FAMILY. 

Thank you for checking out our page and for considering us. With so many worthy organizations, we never take anything for granted. We pray you have a wonderful and blessed Holiday Season. 

May God watch over and keep you and yours into 2026!
