SENIOR  RESOURCE  CENTER
nhcsrc

Located at 2222 South College Road (thus in our backyard) at the split of Shipyard Blvd. from College Road.  It is accessed at the stoplight leading into Hoggard High School.

From their website:
The New Hanover County Senior Resource Center is  a State recognized “Senior Center of Excellence”.  We have had name changes (Services for the Aging, the Department of Aging, and the Senior Resource Center) and we have moved over the years (Fifth & Chestnut, Lucille Shuffler Building on Carolina Beach Road, and in February, 1992, the current location opened at 2222 South College Road).  Although the names and locations have changed, the focus on senior issues, needs, and services remain our top priority.
 Open Monday thru Friday 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM (except holidays, special evening, and weekend events).
  • Individuals fifty-five (55) years of age and older are welcome to participate in activities at the Senior Center.
  • To participate in grant funded programs (i.e. nutrition, transportation, etc.) require the seniors be at least sixty (60) years of age.
The Senior Resource Center does not tolerate discrimination when they are serving individuals who are eligible for its programs based on any non-merit factor, including race, national origin, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability (physical or mental), age, status as a parent, or genetic information.
