The Gardner Senior Center, operating under the mission of “Connection & Purpose,” has established a robust May 2026 schedule centered on holistic wellness, civic engagement, and community building. This period is characterized by a strategic move “Beyond the Medical Model,” highlighted by a cornerstone workshop on “Soul Care” led by Sarah Gaer, MA.
A Vital Hub: The center continues to serve as a vital hub for Gardner’s aging population, providing a diverse array of services ranging from nutritional support (SNAP/HIP) and health advocacy (SHINE, Medicare advising) to innovative recreational programming like the 3rd Annual Patriotic & Summer Sing-A-Long and the “Great Hobby Horse Derby.”
The Gardner Senior Center maintains a dedicated focus on veterans and national heritage through social and musical events.
- Vet-to-Vet Café: A recurring program (e.g., Tuesday, May 19) providing a light lunch and a forum for veterans to share information and conversation.
- 3rd Annual Patriotic & Summer Sing-A-Long: Scheduled for the Wednesday preceding the July 4th holiday, featuring “The Gardner Area Strummers and Friends.”
- Memorial Day Observance: The center will be closed on May 25, 2026, in observance of the holiday.
