OUR HISTORY
Since 1978, Seniors Resource Center has been supporting our community’s older adults. Our organization started under the Jefferson County Department of Social Services as a small department that handled inquiries about senior services and volunteer opportunities. When it became clear that our community needed an agency dedicated to serving older adults, Seniors Resource Center was formed. Today, we provide a wide variety of services to thousands of people in the Denver metro each year.
