Mission

It is the mission of Vida Senior Centers to maintain and improve the quality of life of Latino and other seniors living in isolation, or within a family context in the Washington DC metropolitan area. Vida aims to improve the wellness, self-sufficiency and especially the independence of these seniors by effectively providing culturally and linguistically appropriate programs and services. Most of Vida’s clients have worked hard all their lives, but they find themselves old, poor and in many cases alone in a country that is culturally and linguistically foreign to them. By providing food security, important life information, education and social interactions with people who have shared their life’s journey, Vida offers an important life-line to these seniors.
