Our Mission

The Mt. Olive Senior Center was started in October, 1975 to provide senior citizens in the community with programs to enhance their lives. Working out of the Mt. Olive A.M.E. Zion Church in Waterbury, the Senior Center’s mission is to address problems of isolation, to promote physical and mental health, and to provide information and educational activities. All of these elements taken together provide a well-rounded environment in which the members of the senior center thrive.

A bit of history…
