Seniors in Need Can Replenish Their Shelves

Cobb Senior Services, 1150 Powder Springs Street in Marietta, encourages residents age 6 and older to get shelf stable food on April 16 from 11 a.m. to noon, or while supplies last.

An ID showing date of birth and a Cobb County home address are required upon arrival. No appointment is needed.

Cobb Senior Services’ mission is to improve the quality of life for the 55+ community and their families through innovative programs, resources & community partnerships. Since its creation in 1972, Cobb Senior Services has enhanced the quality of life for thousands of Cobb County senior citizens through nutrition, education and recreation activities and programs.

A department of Cobb County Government, Senior Services is staffed by both full-time and part-time employees, as well as community volunteers. Funding comes through federal grants as well as state and county government funds.

With its conservatively managed programs, Cobb Senior Services continues to keep pace with the steady growth of our senior population, part of the “graying of America.” As a result, many of our programs are copied throughout the state and nation.
