Welcome
The Bureau County Senior Center feels priviliged to be able to offer our services to Bureau County's elderly; and we plan to continue to meet the needs of our seniors in the future.
The Senior Service Center serves every senior citizen in Bureau County. We are funded 40% through a grant administered by Western Illinois Area Agency on Aging. The remaining 60% must be raised from individuals (like you), groups and businesses. We also depend on Church Women United, the United Way and the Bureau County Board. Without community support we could not continue to provide services to Bureau County. Thank you for your support.

Yearly memberships to the association are available but not required for services. Yearly memberships are a $12.00 donation.
