The Rotary Club of San Marcos, in partnership with the Burdine Johnson Foundation, presented a $5,000 check to the San Marcos Senior Citizens Center on June 10 to help the Senior Center fund services targeting seniors.
The Center is located at 810 Arizona Street. The Center is open Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Its services include hot meals, Food Bank distribution, information and referrals, translation services, help with filing government forms, arranging transportation, health screenings, and various activities to promote fellowship, exercise, and recreation.

Funding for the Center comes from the City of San Marcos, Hays County, and the Capital Area Planning Council of Government Area Agency on Aging. April Huggard, Center Director, said that there was a decrease in funding for the Center for the coming year and the gift from Rotary will help sustain services for seniors in San Marcos.
