Middletown Senior Center honored as community champion
MIDDLETOWN, Calif. – Middletown Senior Center was recently honored with a community champion award by Assemblymember Bill Dodd for the organization's passion and dedication to helping senior citizens and serving the community.
Lori Tourville, the executive director of the Middletown Senior Center, accepted the award on behalf of the organization.
"I’d like to thank Assemblymember Dodd for taking the time to recognize our organization,” said Tourville. “Our work at the senior center is a labor of love, and we look forward to continuing our work to provide a better quality of life for local seniors.”
The Middletown Senior Center is a private, nonprofit agency committed to providing quality services to the seniors of the Middletown, Cobb and Hidden Valley areas. They respond to the needs and interests of older adults and provide activities and services to help them maintain independence.
In the aftermath of the 2015 Valley fire, the Middletown Senior Center served as a disaster recovery center, connecting impacted residents with important services from the Department of Motor Vehicles, county records, Red Cross, Employment Development Department, Federal Emergency Management Agency and others.
“The Middletown Senior Center is a great resource for the community and represents the caring spirit of Lake County,” said Dodd. “Particularly in the wake of the devastating wildfires over the past couple of years, the Middletown Senior Center has gone above and beyond in caring for the community. They are the definition of a community champion.”
The Middletown Senior Center also offers a wide variety of programs and services to seniors, everything from congregate and home delivered meals, to adult day care and senior legal assistance. If you would like more information on the Middletown Senior Center, you can contact them at 707-987-3113.
