Our Story
Nearly 50 Years of Serving Our Community
Since 1978, the McCall Senior & Community Center has been a cornerstone of McCall and surrounding communities — a place where neighbors become family, meals nourish both body and spirit, and everyone is welcome.

Rooted in McCall Since 1978
The McCall Senior & Community Center was founded in 1978 with a simple but powerful mission: to ensure that older adults in our rural mountain community could live with dignity, independence, and connection.
What began as a gathering place for seniors has grown into a vital community hub serving people of all ages across Valley County. Today, we operate a food pantry, deliver meals to homebound neighbors, rescue thousands of pounds of food each year, provide transportation to medical appointments, and offer a lending closet of medical equipment — all while continuing to host the community dinners and activities that have brought McCall together for generations.
We are more than a senior center. We are a trusted community organization committed to reducing hunger, isolation, and barriers to wellness for everyone in our valley.
Our Mission
"To strengthen our rural community by reducing hunger, isolation, and barriers to wellness — providing nutritious meals, food assistance, transportation, volunteer engagement, and community connection for older adults and neighbors throughout the greater McCall area."
Rooted in Community. Growing Together.
