In September, the City of San Antonio will celebrate National Senior Center Month with a series of engaging activities highlighting the talents of older residents. The Department of Human Services has organized a theme titled "Powering Connections," which aims to strengthen community ties among seniors aged 60 and older. Each senior center will host an intra-center talent show, with the best performers moving on to semi-finals and a final showcase later in the month. The talent shows are part of a broader effort to promote healthy, active, and independent living among older adults. The city's 11 comprehensive senior centers have recently achieved national accreditation, recognizing their commitment to excellence in serving the elderly population.

These centers provide a range of services, including health and wellness programs, technology instruction, and social activities, catering to over 3,500 seniors daily. The events not only allow participants to showcase their talents but also foster friendships and community engagement. Media contact for this initiative is Roland Martinez, who can be reached at 210-207-5920.
