Pike Market Senior Center/Downtown Food Bank

The Pike Market Senior Center provides services to address the needs of older, low income people that are a result of physical disability, social isolation, inadequate nutrition, and lack of opportunity to engage in meaningful activity or to learn new skills.

Description:
The services we provide are channeled through various programs: Meal program, Employment Program, Social Services, Wellness and Activities. We have a hugely diverse membership,racially, ethnically, economic and - yes - we have age diversity. Our youngest members are 55 years old. Our oldest member is soon to be 100 years old. We are established in a friendly, funky space where a lot is happening all the time. We try to create as gathering place for all people.

History:
The Pike Market Senior Center/Downtown Food Bank is 26 years old. We were founded by community activists in the late 1970s for the purpose of serving the needs of Downtown Seattle's older adults who live in social isolation and poverty. Our membership now comes from all over King County.
