Senior Scene
Dashing through December, a drive thru Christmas Party for senior adults hosted by the Hoover Senior Center, was well attended with over 160+ participants! Attendees enjoyed a special appearance from Santa, received holiday treats from “elves” (our area event sponsors) and were warmly welcomed by our cheery New Horizons Songbird holiday carolers.
Dashing through December was an event adaptation for Hoover New Horizons which has held some type of an annual Christmas party since its inception in 1987. The goal of the event was to provide an opportunity during the holiday season to connect with seniors in the community and provide a safe and festive opportunity. The New Horizons team wanted their seniors to know how much they are missed, and they look forward to priceless opportunities to connect with them during the holidays.
Although the center’s doors are still closed to the community because of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Senior Center staff and various partners are serving our adults in numerous ways such as offering online programming, outreach phone calls, making socially distanced visits and hosting drive thru events.
