Below are just a few pictures of Senior Centers of Cherokee County in action helping our seniors. Our staff came together and cooked a few good meals for those in need. We also had a cleanup crew help with clearing limbs for our seniors and we even provided some electrical help with generators while most of our county was without power right after the storm. Additionally, we had someone replace our American Flag that got destroyed during the storm.
