The Center has been providing an active, vibrant space where 65+ adults meet to take classes, enrich their minds, go on trips, meet with friends and make new ones since 1961.

“During the Covid Quarantine period, the Center was closed to in-person gathering.” Executive Director, Linda Livio shared. “Despite decreased funding, we provided the members with ‘sing-a-longs, holiday gift bags, Zoom Bingo, and keeping in touch phone calls.”

We need your help! If you would like to support the senior citizens who benefit from the PWAAC, Ayhan’s Shish Kebab Restaurant, Ayhan’s Mediterranean Marketplace, Gino’s Pizzeria, Harbor Deli, Hinck's Deli, and Waters Edge Cleaners have donation ‘buckets’ placed conveniently on their counters for you to make a donation. If you can’t locate a donation bucket you can send a donation check payable to Port Washington Senior Center at 80 Manorhaven Blvd., Port Washington, N.Y. 11050.
