"Excellence in Senior Services Since 1967"

Our Mission, is to ensure that all senior citizens have the opportunities, information, and services necessary to live healthy, safe, and active lives in dignity.

Our Beginning...

In January 1967, the Petoskey Friendship Center opened its doors and welcomed senior citizens to a community drop-in center where they could enjoy playing cards, making crafts, and socializing at sunday potlucks. Back then, we served 250 seniors each month and had an annual budget of $3,000.00. Today, the Friendship Centers reach over 6,500 seniors each year from three centers located in Petoskey, Alanson and Pellston. Our annual operating budget has increased to over one and a half million dollars and we employ 60 staff members, who, along with many volunteers, are dedicated to enriching the lives of our senior citizens.
