The mission of the Lincoln Senior Center is to provide a concentrated network of services, resources, activities, and social/community contacts for the elder population of our service area. All aspects of our operations are developed with the direct involvement of the participants themselves and are reflective of their current needs and interests, as well as the needs and interests of the elder population of the Town of Lincoln at large. Our purpose is to offer services, resources, and programs to encourage independence and high self-esteem among our Senior Citizens and help to foster social relationships among their peers and the community. The Lincoln Senior Center serves as a catalyst for dispelling age related stereotypes, allowing our elder population the opportunity to achieve their maximum potential.
