Adult Resource Alliance Partnership
We are proud to have a formal partnership with the Adult Resource Alliance. The Billings Community and Senior Center serves as a congregate meal site, providing well-balanced, affordable lunches for seniors Monday through Friday. Beyond nutrition, these meals offer valuable social opportunities, helping participants connect with their peers. Due to rising grocery costs, participation in this program has grown, with a notable 23% increase in the number of seniors benefiting from these meals through our partnership.
Over the past eight years, our partnership with the Adult Resource Alliance has grown stronger. In 2021, we expanded our recreation and wellness programming to both Alliance locations, broadening our community impact. Due to increasing demand, programming at the Heights location has tripled. For FY 2025, we secured additional funding to support further program expansion across the community and help offset rising costs of supplies and wages. Our ongoing collaboration with the Adult Resource Alliance ensures that seniors have access to vital programs right in their neighborhoods, improving accessibility and enhancing their overall quality of life.
