Lafayette Senior Center at 103 S. Iowa Avenue serves as the central hub for older adult engagement in Lafayette, offering comprehensive programming organized into six key areas: Activities (social and recreational), Fitness (exercise and physical wellness), Wellness (health-focused initiatives), Enrichment (educational and cultural activities), Resources (information and support services), and Trips & Tours (excursions and travel opportunities). The center operates Monday-Thursday 8:30am-5pm and Friday 8:30am-4pm, providing daily, monthly, in-person, and virtual options including book clubs meeting monthly on Fridays, games like Pinochle, Shanghai Rummy, Mexican Train and Rummikub, Wednesday morning crafting groups from 9-10:30am where participants bring materials to work on projects, and Tech Tuesdays on second and fourth Tuesdays from 3:30-4:30pm offering guidance on cell phones and device management. Volunteer opportunities strengthen community bonds, including a group that transforms donated plastic grocery bags into sleeping mats for those experiencing homelessness and a music program performing at local nursing homes, while the Snow Angels program recruits volunteers to assist disabled or older adults with winter snow removal. The center publishes The Spotlight newsletter for program updates, maintains an Older Adults Advisory Board for resident input, and partners with the Bob L. Burger Recreation Center to provide fitness facilities and activity spaces, creating a comprehensive ecosystem that promotes active lifestyles, social connection, and community contribution among Lafayette's senior population.
