Happy New Year and welcome back! We are so excited for all of the fun programs coming up in 2025!

Inclement Weather Policy

The Senior Center follows Gahanna Jefferson Public Schools for delays and closures. The major local television stations will share when school is delayed or closed for the day. When school is closed for the day, the Center will remain closed. When school is delayed, the Center will open on a delay and any activities scheduled to start before 11:30 a.m. will be canceled. Closures/cancellations outside of these standards are still possible due to rapidly deteriorating weather or a level 2 or 3 snow emergency. Please call the Senior Center at (614) 342-4265 prior to traveling if you are unsure if we are open.

A favorite annual tradition, Sauce and Song, features a delicious Italian dinner and a sing-along concert with Gahanna's own Joe Hebdo. This event is open to the public, so bring your friends and family. Please note: this event is only open to people 55+.
