The Ravenna Senior Center was incorporated in 1980, establishing our own by-laws and a Governing Board. The Center has been at the current location since 1988; the building was bought in 1991. Several improvements have been made including the recent kitchen renovation. Each year we have at least three fund raisers to pay for special projects. Many volunteers help in all the aspects of running the Center. The Center serves nutritious meals, has great entertainment and information, and is a great place to come for companionship. Dining room and home delivered meals are available Monday through Friday. 

The Ravenna Senior Center is located at 315 Grand Avenue. For more information, call (308) 452-3105.
