The Prunedale Senior Center provides essential services, social activities, meals, and resource support for older adults and residents in North Monterey County. The Center recently incurred expenses related to facility upgrades that enhance comfort, accessibility, and energy efficiency, as well as senior programming that promotes mobility, engagement, and social connection.
