Facing financial strain, Ukiah Senior Center cuts back on programs and services

UKIAH, CA., 8/21/25 — With expenses exceeding income, the doors of the Ukiah Senior Center will no longer be open on Fridays, reducing free food distribution, daily activities, lunches and a multitude of services and activities to four days a week.

“This is a huge deal and we made this decision very reluctantly,” said Executive Director Liz Dorsey, “but with monthly expenditures running at about $90,000, we have a regular deficit of about $15,000 per month.”
