About this Organization

During normal operations, the Margaret E Blizzard Senior Activity Center is open Monday through Friday, 8 AM-4 PM. Seniors come for activities, breakfast, lunch and socialization. The Center has a computer lab with an instructor, an exercise/dance room with instructors, an arts/crafts room with an instructor, a quilting/sewing room, a library, a large game room with pool tables and card/game tables, and a meditation/relaxation room for group therapy and quiet time. Classes at the center are open to the public as well as seniors, so that all age groups are brought together. We provide a nourishing lunch each weekday, free to seniors and available to their guests at a nominal price. Lunches are prepared in our kitchen at the Senior Center by our full time staff and served buffet-style. Those who cannot go through the line, are served by volunteers. Frozen meals and non-perishable groceries are delivered weekly to homebound seniors. Our transport van provides rides to and from the Center for seniors who don't drive. Our seniors reach out to their community through partnerships with Brenham ISD, the Boys & Girls Club of Washington County, Blinn College, and local civic groups. We publish a bi-monthly senior news magazine, that is distributed throughout the county. We offer a free summer tutoring program for elementary students, taught by retired teachers. Classes are held at the Center and includes lunch with the seniors. As of March 2020 our membership was over 2800.
