The Corning Senior Center at 1403 Main Street has been having its share of on-again/off again seasons what with the COVID pandemic, but now is back in full swing. The Center serves delicious lunches to members every weekday, as well as delivering meals to the homebound.

As it happens, the Center is holding a membership drive and looks forward to welcoming you.
