Senior fun all month long
Community Action of South Mississippi has another exciting month of activities planned for October. From exercise and games to special themed days, the Moss Point Senior Center continues to be a place where friends gather, stay active, and enjoy community togetherness.
The calendar is packed with activities designed to keep both mind and body moving. Regular favorites like Wii exercise, walking and stretching sessions, and chair exercises help participants stay healthy and engaged. These fitness activities are scheduled throughout the week so seniors can build a routine that works for them, whether that means joining a morning stretch session or getting competitive with a round of Wii bowling after lunch.
Social favorites such as corn hole, table games, and balloon volleyball create laughter and connection throughout the week. These activities bring people together who might otherwise spend the day at home alone. For many participants, the Moss Point Senior Center is not just a place to play games; it is the center of their social life and a place where lasting friendships are built one afternoon at a time.
Seniors can also look forward to creative and educational activities, including Arts and Crafts at the Jackson-George Library on October 13 and Medicare Trivia with Cindy from Aetna on October 16. These programs give participants a chance to learn something new, ask questions about their health coverage, and express themselves creatively, all in a relaxed, supportive setting.
Beyond the daily programming, October features several standout events that bring extra energy and excitement to the center. These are the kind of days that people circle on the calendar, and they are open to all registered participants.
Other weekly and biweekly favorites include Rev. Stallworth's devotionals, basketball shootouts, GCCFN programs, and movie days. Many of these events encourage physical activity, creative thinking, and social engagement; all key parts of maintaining wellness and quality of life for our senior community.
The consistency of the programming is one of the things that makes the Moss Point Senior Center so valuable. Participants know that every Monday starts with exercise. They know that Wednesdays bring devotionals and fellowship. They know that Fridays often end with something fun and social. That kind of structure gives seniors something to look forward to every single day, and research consistently shows that regular social engagement is one of the most important factors in healthy aging.
Transportation is also available for registered participants who need a ride to and from the center. CASOMS operates wheelchair accessible vehicles throughout Jackson County, and rides can be requested at least 48 hours in advance by contacting the center or submitting a request through the CASOMS website.
Community Action of South Mississippi is proud to serve our local seniors by providing a welcoming environment full of encouragement, laughter, and purpose. The Moss Point Senior Center is open to adults ages 60 and older in Jackson County, and there is no fee to participate. Donations are accepted but never required.
New participants are welcome at any time. Registration requires a brief Consumer Information Form, an emergency contact, and a list of current medications. Once registered, you can attend any activity on the calendar and enjoy a nutritious congregate meal served Monday through Friday by Trio food service.
If you or someone you know could benefit from the fellowship, fitness, and community that the Moss Point Senior Center provides, we encourage you to stop by or call. October is a great month to get started.
