MISSION AND HISTORY

The Somervell County Citizens’ Center is the physical building, owned by Somervell County, where the Somervell County Committee on Aging (SCCOA) is located M-F. We began as a 501(c)(3) non-profit entity in 1976 and our first location was just a block over, in what is now Spirit Wind church. We moved into our current building in 1985.

It is our mission to provide and coordinate services to the senior population of Somervell County that will enable them to remain independent and active in their own homes for as long as possible. We also welcome individuals under 60 and/or from out of Somervell County to partake in any of our services and activities as long as they are not the services limited by the parameters of our grant funding. (Meals-on Wheels and local transportation)

We provide lunch to seniors M-F as well as many other services, referrals and activities, including the Meals-on-Wheels program for seniors who are no longer able to provide for their own nutritional needs and are not physically able to come to the Center for daily lunches.

The Master Gardeners of Somervell County are volunteers who work with the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service to improve gardening skills throughout the community. Program objectives are implemented through the training of local volunteers known as Master Gardeners. We collaborate with Texas A&M AgriLife Extension to conduct youth and community education; establish and maintain demonstration gardens; and provide a speakers bureau.

We work with special audiences in the community (4-H horticultural clubs, Junior Master Gardener groups, schools, and others) for youth and community outreach of a horticultural nature. We recruit and educate new Master Gardener candidates for effective volunteering.

Somervell County Master Gardeners Association was chartered in 2001 with 6 members. Each odd year since that time, we have slowly added to our ranks.
