the pine ridge sr. citizen's center Website The Pine Ridge - South Congaree Senior Citizen's Center is located at 1123 Courtney Dr, West Columbia, SC 29172. It is managed by the Lexington County Recreation & Aging Commission. It is open most weekdays except holidays. Some seniors still choose to drive to the center daily, others are dropped by a caregiver, and still others choose to ride the shuttle. Senior citizens may be able to arrange transportation through the shuttle provided there's room at the time the request is made. This is a gathering place where the senior citizens of our community go to socialize, eat through the Meals on Wheels program, and enjoy others of their own age. There are daily activities and regular outings. There's a television room, activities room, game room, piano for sing-alongs, and more. Most activities and service are provided at no or minimal charge to the senior. This is also the area's distribution site for Meals on Wheels for seniors who elect to eat at home instead of gathering at the center. Fore more information about the Pine Ridge Senior Citizen's Center call them at (803) 755-1274. The aging adult population is growing in the U.S, and so is the need for appropriate housing. Assisted living communities are well equipped to help residents manage daily living activities, and they empower seniors to thrive, boosting their physical, mental, and social well-being. Choosing the best facility, however, can be time-consuming and overwhelming for seniors and their loved ones. Here are resources to help aging adults and their families explore available communities, costs, and payment options.

What you can do to help The Town of South Congaree like most small towns operates off a very small budget. Because of this, we often need additional help in various capacities we simply can't afford. Below are listed areas in which we currently need assistance. If you have some time to spare and would like to help your community, go to the volunteer position you are interested and e-mail that department's head. We certainly could use your skills an talents. Volunteer Grant Writer Applicants must posses some skills in writing. Previous grant writing experience is preferred. A grant writer would search for, find, and match available grants to the town's needs. This may include water and sewer, b eautification , economic improvement, law enforcement , public safety, parks & recreation grants, and more. This writer would study the grant's requirements , ensure that the Town of South Congaree meets or could meet those r equirements in the future. Then, that individual would fully fill out the application, gather all required documentation, and return it by the application's deadline. Some training may be possible through the SC Municipal Association, the SCEPD, the SC Criminal Justice Academy, and other agencies. If you are interested in doing some volunteer grant writing, please contact the Town Clerk by calling (803) 755-2760 and pressing extension 101.
