Our History
In 1983, a committee was formed to raise funds for a senior center in Amador County. A kickoff fundraiser was held on October 8, 1983 with a goal of raising $250,000. Incredibly, the goal was met and exceeded within just six months. The founding committee formed what is currently Amador County Senior Services Inc. which is the nonprofit organization that owns and operates the Amador Senior Center.
A groundbreaking ceremony took place on September 7, 1984 with a dedication and ribbon cutting on March 23, 1985.
In the over 30 years of serving the seniors of Amador County, the Amador Senior Center has continued a rich tradition of advocacy, activities, education and support services. Our mission originates from the vision of our founders many years ago, to support and serve the senior population in our community.
