East Topeka Senior Center

The East Topeka Senior Center (ETSC) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to serving older adults and individuals with disabilities in Shawnee County. Established in 1980, ETSC provides vital services that promote independence, wellness, and social connection for seniors in a welcoming and supportive environment.

The center offers a wide range of programs including door-to-door transportation for medical appointments, shopping, and social outings; daily congregate meals through Meals on Wheels; and emergency food assistance. In addition to nutritional support, ETSC hosts recreational activities such as arts and crafts, exercise classes, music, games, and special events that keep members active and engaged.

Health and wellness are a priority, with regular screenings, medication reviews, and educational presentations on topics important to aging adults. Monthly informational meetings and partnerships with organizations such as Angel Home Health, Midland Care, and the Jayhawk Area Agency on Aging provide valuable resources to the community.

ETSC services are available to individuals 60 and older, their spouses, and adults with disabilities. While there is no charge for participation, voluntary donations are welcome and help sustain the center’s programs.

Supported by generous community partners, ETSC is committed to enhancing quality of life for seniors.
