Our History
EST. 1965

(Montco SAAC) was founded by forward-thinking individuals dedicated to enhancing the lives of the elderly in their local community. The original Articles of Incorporation housed at our Norristown center outline our mission:

to offer education, fellowship, recreation, therapy, and counseling to senior residents, prioritizing their overall well-being and addressing nutritional requirements.

 

Our founders envisioned a supportive environment for seniors, regardless of gender, social or economic status, race, or religion, emphasizing non-profit operation, political neutrality, and enduring presence. This marked the genesis of a legacy focused on improving seniors' quality of life through a wide range of services and activities, laying the foundation for decades of community service and support.

​

From its inception, Montco SAAC aimed to provide a nurturing environment. Initially offering warm, nutritious lunches and community support, it later expanded its vision to become a comprehensive resource for senior adults. This expansion addressed seniors' nutritional, educational, and social needs.

​

Throughout the years, Montco SAAC has adapted to meet evolving community needs, broadening its offerings beyond meals. Presently, our center hosts an array of programs including health and fitness classes, art workshops, and social activities aimed at keeping seniors engaged and active. Moreover, we operate the largest Meals on Wheels program in Montgomery County, serving hundreds of home-bound seniors, and offer vital social services through our Ambler and Norristown centers.

​

The journey of Montco SAAC from its inception to its current status exemplifies our unwavering commitment to the senior community, demonstrating how a simple concept can evolve into an integral part of community life. It serves as a testament to our founders' vision of a supportive, enriching environment for seniors, a vision that continues to guide our efforts today.
