FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Pasadena Senior Center Temporary Closure Due to Fire-Related Debris

Pasadena, CA – Due to the aftermath of the Eden Canyon and Altadena fires, the Pasadena Senior Center, located at 85 East Holly Street, Pasadena, CA, will be temporarily closed on Thurs. Jan. 9. The closure is necessary to ensure the safety of our senior community as we address the significant amount of debris surrounding the center, including fallen trees, branches, and other fire-related detritus.

Our team is actively working to clear the area and make the necessary repairs to facilitate a safe environment for older adults. We understand the importance of this Center to our senior community, and we are doing everything within our power to reopen as soon as possible.

In the meantime, the health and safety of our members remains our top priority. We are initiating wellness checks to ensure the well-being of our members, to understand their current needs, and to offer our support in any way we can during these challenging times.

For older adults in need of assistance, if you require shelf-stable food, personal hygiene products, or any other personal necessities, we urge you to contact us at 626-795-4331. Our team is ready and waiting to provide the support you need.

We ask the community to come together during this period to look out for each other, especially the vulnerable and elderly. Updates regarding the reopening of the Pasadena Senior Center will be communicated through local media, our website, and directly to our members as soon as available.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation. Stay safe, and do not hesitate to reach out to us for assistance.

For 65 years, the Pasadena Senior Center’s mission has been to improve the lives of older adults through caring service with opportunities for social interaction, fitness programs, basic support and needs services, education, volunteerism and community activism. With 10,000 Americans per day becoming older adults, the center is a leader in addressing issues of aging and provides innovative, cutting-edge, nationally recognized programs for this population group.

As a donor-supported nonprofit, the center operates without any local, state or federal funding and provides more services to older adults than any other organization in the San Gabriel Valley. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon. To learn more visit www.pasadenaseniorcenter.org or call 626-795-4331.
