Our Mission and Role

The International Council on Active Aging began the first Active Aging Week in 2003.
This week is meant to celebrate how positive the process of aging can truly be.
Active Aging Week encourages adults over the age of 50 to take advantage of all that life has to offer.
The goal of this week is to promote wellness initiatives and to get bodies up and moving.
Active Aging Week
is October 5th - 11th, 2026

Thanksgiving Dinner Baskets


Imagine this....it's Monday before Thanksgiving - when most other people are busying themselves with lists, shopping, stressing, baking pies,
and planning for their own family holiday, Senior Citizen Council members will be found doing something quite different...they shop, plan, and create Individual Thanksgiving Dinner Baskets, which are delivered to families in our community. Twenty-three full dinners ingredients were provided this past Thanksgiving.. It's a huge production, and with all basket contents donated by Senior Citizen Council members, truly a labor of love.
