The Union County Senior Services Program is available for persons 60-years-of-age and older and offers enrichment programs and socialization opportunities. Union County Senior Services does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, religion, age, disability in employment, or the provision of services.

The program is funded in part under a contract with Green River Area Development District (GRADD) with funds from the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The services offered under this overall program are made possible with funds from federal, state, county, and city governments as well as client contributions, fundraisers and civic club donations.

The program offers a wide variety of services and activities on a daily basis. Some services are provided on a monthly basis, on scheduled days.  Special events are announced and posted in each senior center.
