IMPORTANT NEW PROGRAM AT THE SENIOR CENTER
The Senior Center is pleased to be partnering with the Elk Grove Police Department to offer
Project Lifesaver. This FREE program is specific to those in our Elk Grove community who are
at risk of wandering away from their home or care facility. As you may already know, the key
to helping those who are challenged and their families is to find those who are missing as
quickly as possible. The Project Lifesaver Program Administrator Jose’ Herrera is now available
at the Senior Center one day a week to answer questions you may have about this very important program.
Brochures are available at the Senior Center Front Desk or you may call the Senior Center
at (916) 685-3160 to make an appointment with Mr. Herrera.
