Support Us
When you donate to North Shore Senior Center, a 501(c)(3) organization, you become a part of a community that supports the independence and well-being of more than 24,000 older adults and their families. Your investment enables older adults and their families to receive services and participate in programs that help them remain in their homes, negotiate the challenges of aging, and live more fulfilling lives. To learn more about the impact of our donors, please read our FY23 Annual Report.
