In addition to quarterly luncheons, SAVVY Seniors participants enjoy a variety of recreational and enrichment activities such as bingo, movie screenings, local outings, and an annual group trip to the Sight & Sound Theatre in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, known for its acclaimed musical productions based on biblical stories.
The program also places a strong emphasis on health, wellness, and lifelong learning. Seniors have access to informative seminars led by respected organizations and institutions, covering topics such as brain health, chronic disease awareness, fraud prevention, and overall wellness. Complementary offerings include healthy cooking demonstrations and practical educational workshops that promote informed decision-making and healthy lifestyles.
To further support physical health and mobility, MACAC offers an ongoing Seniors Exercise Program in partnership with the Parkinson’s Foundation. This program meets twice weekly and includes an online participation option, ensuring accessibility for all participants.
Through its diverse programming, SAVVY Seniors continues to foster connection, education, and wellness—creating meaningful opportunities for older adults to remain active, informed, and engaged within their community.
