Senior Services

Our Senior Programs

The Salvation Army is dedicated to meeting the needs of our most vulnerable neighbors, including older New Yorkers who might typically spend their days alone at home.

Many of our centers provide regularly scheduled activities for seniors, including arts and crafts, special events, socialization, and games. Other opportunities through which we support our senior population include camp retreats and regular visits to extend care facilities. The Salvation Army is a safe haven for our senior populations, just as it is for people of all ages who are in need.

Bensonhurst Community Center

Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, has the largest population of residents born in China of anywhere in New York City, with nearly all clients at the community center being born in Asia, and many of them practicing Buddhists. Daily, our Bensonhurst Community and Worship Center provides a vibrant and active outlet for neighborhood seniors in the form of dance, Tai Chi, Chinese Opera, ESL classes, computer literacy, table tennis, and much more. Plus, the center has a subsidized lunch program which costs the seniors a small fee to enjoy a culturally appropriate meal with their peers.

Senior Camp

At many of our local Community Center, we provide seniors with partial camp scholarships to attend The Salvation Army’s Star Lake Camp for a stay of five days and four nights where they will be able to experience the beautiful outdoors, relax, socialize with peers, and enjoy camping activities (arts and crafts, fishing, swimming, paddle boating, nature walks, shuffleboard, karaoke, etc.).
