Tuckahoe Senior Citizens was established in 1970 and was the first program of its kind in Westchester County.

Our mission is to reduce the instances of isolation and loneliness often found in the senior population. Tuckahoe Senior Citizens provides older members of local neighborhoods the enjoyment of participating in an active community of peers while maintaining connections to a wider world beyond their own homes and families.

Our philosophy is based on the premise that aging is a normal developmental process; that people need peers with whom they can interact and are available as a source of encouragement and support; and that senior adults have the right to a voice in determining matters in which they have a vital interest.

The Senior Citizens Council oversees the administrative functions and activities of both the Tuckahoe Senior Citizens and the Bronxville Senior Citizens. The volunteer board is responsible for raising the funds to pay the salaries of the professional directors of both the Tuckahoe and the Bronxville Seniors and of an administrative assistant, and to provide financial support for some of the programming and services.

The Senior Citizens Council (SCC) is a community-based organization established in 1970 by a coalition of local organizations who recognized a growing need among seniors in the area for professionally run programs and services.
