Erie County Seniors

We loved cheering on our Buffalo Bisons with over 1,400 older adults today! 🍿🧢⚾️🌭

Last week, annual Senior Picnics celebrated our older adults & 50th year of Stay Fit Dining! Over 1300 enjoyed BBQ, games, & dancing. Retired Seniors Volunteer Program (RSVP) also had an event. More about @ECSeniorSvcs programs: erie.gov/seniorservices youtu.be/nhay6jBX7-0

On this gorgeous day, everyone had a great time at the @ECSeniorSvcs annual summer picnic at Como Park in @Lancaster_NY. It was nice to meet and speak with so many in our senior citizen community and remind them of the upcoming deadline of May 7, 2025 for #REALID‼️🪪

One of the truly great days of the year: Day 1 of our annual @ECSeniorSvcs Picnic! 500+ older adults from across the county came together for a chicken barbeque, ice cream, games, and much more. This picnic is so popular we will be holding another tomorrow for 500+ more.
