Poway Senior Center
The Poway Senior Center, located in the heart of Community Park at 13094 Civic Center Drive, offers classes, a delicious luncheon program, opportunities for trips, and even Bingo twice each week.
Dine at La Bella Bistro
Their delightfully delicious lunch program offers a place to join your friends or make new ones every Monday through Friday. Lunch is served between 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Advance notice is required, so if you plan to join them for lunch, please make your reservation by noon two days before by calling (858)748-6094.
Need a ride to the center? Ask about their door-to-door transportation service to and from the Center for lunch.
They also offer a home-delivered meal program for homebound seniors and disabled adults. This service is available to those who reside in the greater Poway area, including Rancho Penasquitos, Scripps Ranch, Carmel Mountain, Rancho Bernardo and Sabre Springs. To make arrangements for home-delivered lunch meals, contact the Nutrition Manager, Sheila Sirkin at (858) 748-6094, Ext. 304.
Enjoy Classes and Activities
Poway Senior Center also offers classes such as water-color, ceramics, and porcelain doll-making. Activities include quilting “Bees” that have their own quilter’s frame and create beautiful works of art which they donate to the center for fundraising. There is also “STEPPING OUT,” and TOPS, a weight loss support group.

Sponsor “Meals-for-a-Month”
Each month the Center serves 1,200 meals to local older adults in need. This vital service depends upon the generosity of personal and corporate sponsors who cover the cost of 500 meals during a month by donating $2,500. In return, sponsors of Meals for a Month will receive the following:
• Recognition plaque displayed in the Center’s lobby
• Sponsorship poster displayed in the dining area during your month
• Acknowledgment in our monthly newsletter, The Senior Voice
• Your company logo on our Poway Senior Center bus which travels 100 miles a day throughout the greater Poway area. Contact Siobhan Hancock at (858) 748-6094, ext. 301, for more information.
