PINE HILLS SENIORS

              

For Seniors, By Seniors: A "planning committee" of senior volunteers meets regularly to develop Programs and Activities for Pine Hills Seniors. The participants suggest ideas, plan events and activities, and execute them.

 

The Pine Hills Senior Citizens organization offers a variety of Health and Wellness programs and fun recreational activities. A typical day kicks off at

9 AM with a morning exercise session, followed by an opening prayer,

and a rotating schedule of activities, including bingo, movies,

crafts, painting, and special guest presentations.

 Participants enjoy breakfast and lunch, generously provided by

Seniors First organization, ensuring no one leaves hungry.

For special events, the group often enjoys catered meals.

​

New Seniors are always welcome - no registration required.

The program operates with an open-door policy in a public facility

dedicated to serving the senior community. 

​

Recently, the Pine Hills Seniors were also featured in the Orange County TV Magazine as part of the Age-Friendly Orange County Action Plan. 

 

Come join the fun, Stay Active, and Connect with your community!
