We want to highlight the Mizell Center in Palm Springs, a vital resource that has been serving the senior community for decades.
The center isn't just a place for classes; it’s a hub of active living. This week, they are hosting everything from Chinese Mah Jong Open Play to specialized lectures like the "Burrowing Owls" talk. They also run a critical Meals on Wheels program and offer "Footprints in the Sand," a popular program for seniors to stay engaged and social.
Whether you want to learn a new skill, join a book club, or volunteer to deliver meals, Mizell is the place where community happens.
