Volunteering at the Mercer Senior Center doesn't have to be a long-term commitment or take a huge amount of your time. Helping out with even the smallest tasks can make a real difference to our seniors and our organization. The Senior Center provides many opportunities to share your talents or skills, to make new friends and to have fun.
