Q. Does Mad River Seniors have a senior center?
Mad River Seniors rents space in the Evergreen Place complex on Main Street in Waitsfield for cooking, serving community meals and Meals on Wheels, and hosting many of our senior programs.

It is not a senior center, but because many of our operations take place there, some people consider it our senior center facility.
