Drop-in Programs

Weekly Drop-In Programs

These activities do not require pre-registration unless otherwise specified. However, participation for any programs requires a 411 membership.  All of these programs are run by volunteers who generously donate their time and talents to offer these great activities.  Volunteers at this center donate over 40,000 hours of work each year. That’s truly amazing!

In addition to the programs listed below, we offer a variety of daily activities. These include ping-pong (paddles and balls can be picked up at second floor reception), puzzles, and chess, all located on the third floor.
