Frederica Senior Center’s Mission Statement

Founded in 1974, the Frederica Senior Center was built on the need to combat the debilitating effects of geographical isolation of the elderly

residing in Frederica, Magnolia, Felton, North Bowers Beach and rural surrounding areas in Delaware.

Our goal is to provide a hot home-cooked nutritious meal daily; social; recreational and educational activities; transportation to and

from the Center; and Outreach services.

If you or someone you know has a need or would like to visit our Center, please feel free to call us (302) 335-4555 or (302) 335-1770. Our

hours of operation are Monday through Friday 8:00am to 2:00pm,
