OUR HISTORY
In 1976, the Comfort Senior Citizens Organization was born. Comfort residents came together due to efforts of an enthusiastic group of folks: Jack and Eoiline Bowie; Comfort's Poet Laureate, Ilse McElroy and humanitarians, Harris & Dede Finney. These folks wanted the best for Comfort's senior residents in the form of a Senior Center. Their focus was on community action and partnership. The Comfort Senior Citizens group's goals were two-fold: to assist the elderly and to make Comfort an even better place to live. In six years, their efforts resulted in an all around program from fellowship to nutrition and health.
The Comfort Senior Citizens group joined the Chamber of Commerce and became a central organization as an advocate for the elderly in Comfort. They provided medical screening clinics for everyone in the community and set up a nutrition center in the Methodist Church Educational Building. These were the pioneers who built the foundation upon which the Comfort Golden Age Center stands today.
The Comfort Golden Age Center (October 1987) is now a 501(c)(3) organization under the Comfort Golden Age Center Foundation and we serve about 150 seniors per year. Our Meals on Wheels is a program of the Rainbow Senior Center at Kronkosky Place in Boerne, Texas. Hot meals are served daily at our Center and daily deliveries of a hot lunch to our (Meals on Wheels) are also provided. We have many caring individuals serving on our Foundation Board of Directors, our Meals on Wheels and Center volunteers, all of which are very dedicated to helping our area seniors in so many ways!
