Causer Announces Grants For Area Senior Centers

State Rep. Martin Causer recently obtained much-needed and much-deserved grants for all 12 of the senior centers serving Cameron, McKean and Potter counties. Each center received $25,000 to be used as their leadership saw fit, whether it was helping with utility bills and rent, building repairs or maintenance, equipment, supplies, meals and more.

Many thanks to our senior center directors and volunteers, along with county officials and the seniors themselves who came out to mark the occasion. I'd like to give an extra special shout-out to the folks from the Driftwood Senior Center who traveled all the way to Bradford to join us!

The ceremonial $100,000 check presented at the Oswayo Valley Senior Center to Potter County Human Services was split evenly among the county’s four senior centers in Coudersport, Galeton, Shinglehouse and Ulysses. The ceremonial $200,000 check presented to the Office of Human Services Area Agency on Aging at the Greater Bradford Senior Activity Center was split evenly among McKean County’s six senior centers in Bradford, Eldred, Kane, Mt. Jewett, Port Allegany and Smethport, and Cameron County’s two senior centers in Driftwood and Emporium.
