County Executive Lamont G. McClure, Pennsylvania Secretary of Aging Jason Kavulich, along with officials from the Northampton County Area Agency on Aging Department, are pleased to announce two senior centers in Northampton County are recipients of the Pennsylvania Department of Aging’s 2022-23 Senior Community Center Grants.

The Oliver C. Border House in Nazareth is receiving $119,250, and the Silver Connection Easton Area Community Center is receiving $70,938. The awards will be used for Capital Improvements and Renovations. “Senior centers are vital to our older residents. The grants will help our senior centers fund essential projects to upgrade their facilities,” says Lamont G. McClure. “Seniors will see new kitchen and restroom renovations, flooring, and activity supplies.”

The Pennsylvania Department of Aging received $7 million in requests for this year’s Senior Community Center Grant program. The Department has awarded a total of $2 million in grants to 48 Senior Community Centers throughout the Commonwealth. The funding was appropriated by the General Assembly from the Pennsylvania Lottery.
