The Gulfport Senior Foundation is a registered 501(c)3 charitable non-profit organization that raises monies to support the Gulfport Senior Community including supporting the programs and services of the Gulfport Senior Center”
The Foundation has currently raised $200,000 versus their goal of $500,000 to support the City in building a new Multipurpose Senior Center. In addition, they continue to raise funds to support the Foundation’s ongoing mission to support and enhance the health, educational, social and recreational programs and services of the Gulfport Multipurpose Senior Center.
As the community population ages, we face the critical challenge to continue providing for the growing needs ahead. In conjunction with the City of Gulfport, the Gulfport Senior Center Foundationis making plans to construct a new, larger, and more senior-focused center.
The new building will be configured using the concept of universal design. In this way, the building can serve an age-diverse population that is accessible to everyone, i.e. wider doors and hallways, quality lighting, and no curbed entries.
Through this effort, we will demonstrate that our community truly cares about the health, welfare, safety, and dignity of all our citizens, particularly the older adults we serve every day.
