On September 12, 2025, Forks Senior Center (FSC) will be celebrating our 20th Anniversary with an open house celebration from 4:00 to 6:00 pm. Through the combined efforts of dedicated volunteers and community partners, FSC was launched in September of 2005 as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. FSC is, by far, the longest serving senior center in Calhoun County. With a membership of over 400 older adults the center is open to area residents 60 years of age or older.
Members come for exercise in a full fitness center or join in different styles of exercise classes each day. Some come for socialization, to spend time talking with other seniors about what is happening in the community or the good ole days. New members quite often find old friends from previous jobs or other connections over the years.
FSC also offers fun with Euchre, Bid Whiz, Bingo, Bunco, Cribbage, Five Crowns, the Long Game, and puzzles. The center offers a wide variety of activities for all to enjoy!
Milestone Senior Services serves a hot nutritious meal at the center each day as well. Meals need to be reserved in advance and are available on a donation basis.
FSC is a state-recognized Community Focal Point by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services for information and resources to help older adults. Our receptionists share information about Calhoun County Senior Millage funded programs, as well as other programs and services available in the community. CareWell Services Southwest offers free counseling on Medicare, and shares other senior services available such as MI Choice Waiver, personal emergency response buttons, hearing aids and glasses, and more.
Without our community partners we would not be able to offer the resources and programming our older adults enjoy each day. FSC is supported by the Albion Recreation Millage, Calhoun County Senior Millage, CareWell Services Southwest, and community donations and support.
Please join us as we celebrate 25 years of serving seniors on September 12 from 4:00 to 6:00 pm at our center at 101 N. Albion. We are located in the Calhoun County Human Services building at the corner of North Albion and Cass Streets. For more information call (517) 629-3842.
