Welcome to the Chisago County Senior Center
The Heart of Chisago County’s Senior Center
The Chisago County Senior Center is more than a building—it is a welcoming hub where connections are made, laughter is shared, and a sense of purpose is renewed. Operated entirely by dedicated volunteers, the center is sustained through generous donations, rental income, community fundraisers, and the ongoing support of our neighbors. If you are interested in contributing your time, talents, or resources, we would be delighted to hear from you.

The Chisago County Senior Center operates under the auspices of the Chisago County Senior Citizens Board on Aging. In the late ‘70s the Board on Aging decided they were in need of a Senior Center. The citizens of Chisago County began fundraising efforts, asking for donations, holding dances, pig roasts, and potlucks. When the money was raised, the old Superior Engineering building was purchased and expanded. The North Branch Senior Dining Site held meals Mondays through Friday, and the Senior Center was used as a multi-purpose center. Activities, programs and events were held daily and occasionally on the weekends.
In 1994, ideas for a new center were discussed. And on a cold Wednesday afternoon in December of 2000, people finally gathered together for a groundbreaking ceremony for the new center. The old building was torn down and we made the move to the new Uptown Maple Commons building in October 2001.
The Senior Center is funded through contracts for services with area townships, cities, individual and business donations, and our Tables Around Town fundraiser.
