Senior Center Closed Until Further Notice

Out of an abundance of caution the Oak Ridge Senior Center will be closed beginning March 16, 2020. This will close all Senior Center Activities including the ETHRA Congregate Meal Program (On-site Meals) and the MyRide Oak Ridge program until further notice. However, the ETHRA Home Delivered Meal Program (Meals on Wheels) will continue as normal.

We encourage all our senior participants to be safe and follow all precautions set forth for those who are at higher risk for complications on the CDC website (https://www.cdc.gov/…/specific…/high-risk-complications.html).

Check this page periodically or follow us on Facebook  for updates.
