Love is in the air at Wantagh Senior Center's Valentines party

The Wantagh Senior Center, located at the Church of St. Jude in Wantagh, recently held a Valentine's Day Party for around 85 seniors.

Last week, attendees enjoyed live music, dancing, singing, and a spread of pizza. Under the guidance of program manager Lisa Pagliaro, the center has garnered a reputation for hosting engaging holiday events that create lasting memories among seniors. Despite their age, the seniors showcased their vitality by dancing energetically throughout the celebration.

Operating Monday through Friday, the center offers a wide range of activities, which include crafts, bingo, exercise classes, shopping excursions, and themed parties. Additionally, attendees benefit from daily lunch services and transportation assistance. This event highlights the center’s role in enhancing the well-being and social interaction of its participants, providing an environment where seniors can enjoy meaningful connections.

The Wantagh Senior Center is part of Catholic Charities of Long Island's commitment to supporting seniors in Nassau County. With three Senior Community Service Centers in the area, Catholic Charities offers essential services such as transportation, hot meals, recreation, entertainment, education, and health services, aiming to meet the diverse needs of the senior population and promote their overall quality of life.
