Today we talk to the Executive Director of Senior Action Andrea Smith. According to senioraction.org -
“In 1967, a group of concerned and passionate members of the Greenville community recognized a need for programs and services for seniors. With the help and support of the five downtown churches at the time (Buncombe Street United Methodist Church, Christ Church Episcopal, First Baptist Church Greenville, First Presbyterian Church, and St. Mary’s Catholic Church), the dream of Senior Action was born. This group sought and received the support from the City of Greenville and Greenville county who donated the land for the first home of the organization which was located on McBee Avenue in downtown Greenville.”
In 2020 this group has served and delivered thousands of meals and offered countless virtual programs for their members to educate and enlighten them while also keeping this population safe.
