At Senior Connections, we love seeing our members stay active and connected. Every day, we're reminded that it doesn't take much to make a difference: a friendly conversation, a warm smile, and sharing a meal with good friends can turn someone's whole day around.

Our weekly programs bring older adults from across Fayette, Colorado, Lavaca, and Gonzales Counties together to enjoy good company and meaningful activities. Whether they're playing table games, creating art, or sitting down for one of our home-cooked meals, our members stay socially connected, keep their minds active, and build lasting friendships. That's what Senior Connections is all about.

In just three years, our membership has grown from 45 to more than 450, and the number of meals we serve each year has increased from 1,500 to nearly 7,500 in 2025. This year, we're on track to serve more than 11,000 meals. To us, those numbers represent much more than growth. They show the growing need for programs that help people stay active and healthy as they age.

As our programs have grown, so has our need for more space. We now have the opportunity to transform a long-vacant building in downtown Schulenburg into a vibrant community hub that will support all of our locations in Schulenburg, Weimar, Flatonia, and La Grange. This new space will give us room to grow, expand our programming, and better serve older adults throughout the communities we call home.

This new space will provide:

• A larger gathering area where members can safely and comfortably come together
• A flexible space and art gallery to showcase the creativity of our Artful Seniors
• A dedicated classroom for art classes, wellness programs, and trainings
• A commercial kitchen to prepare healthy meals for all program locations
• Capacity to expand programs locally and reach older adults in neighboring communities
• The space will be available for other community use after 3 pm and weekends

Join us as we create a space that serves our members today and strengthens our community for years to come!
