Friendly Neighbors Senior Meal Site and Senior Center

Moscow Senior Center
Senior citizens gather in the Senior Center (located in the 1912 Center) for many activities, including card playing (pinochle on Tuesday afternoons and bridge on Thursday afternoons), mah jongg Wednesday afternoons, bingo on Friday mornings, Blind and Diabetic Support group (Wednesday mornings), computer instruction Monday mornings, computer use, jigsaw puzzles, and socializing throughout the week. The Senior Center is open from 9:00 AM until 4:00 PM Monday through Friday (closed on holidays). Anyone interested in activities in the Moscow Senior Center can call the Center at (208) 882-1562.

The coffee pot is always on at the center, and there's also tea. The center has a color TV with many cable channels along with a DVD/VCR player. There is a large library of books as well as a number of magazines.

The center has three desktop computers (Windows 10 PCs) available for use by seniors (55+); all PCs can access the internet at high speeds, and two PCs can print to a color printer.
The 1912 Center is a free wifi "hot spot," so bring your laptop or other "smart" device.

Donations are critical to the work of Friendly Neighbors. The donations we receive for senior meals served and delivered do not cover the actual costs of the meals. If you would like to help us continue to provide these needed nutrition services to Moscow area seniors, donations may be sent to our address of Friendly Neighbors, 412 East Third St, Moscow, ID 83843. Checks may be made out to "Friendly Neighbors."

If you shop at Amazon, there is a way for 0.5% of your purchase to be donated to Friendly Neighbors. Friendly Neighbors has registered as an "Amazon Smile" charity. If you click the above "Go to smile.amazon.com" banner, it will take you to the Amazon login and connect Friendly Neighbors as the charity to receive 1/2 of one percent of your total purchase (at no extra cost to you, the businesses support this effort).
