Project Need. The Brea Senior Center, exceeding 100 years of age while serving approximately 52,000 seniors annually, is in need of kitchen improvements in order for it to remain an efficient, accessible, functional and safe environment for the increasing number of low-income seniors and the community it serves. The longstanding building provides a safe setting for seniors to participate in many activities and services geared towards their needs, including nutrition. The kitchen at the Senior Center is used by staff and senior volunteers at least five days per week to prepare and service a hot, nutritious lunch. The home-delivered meals program also utilizes the kitchen. Both programs heavily rely on senior volunteers who are in and out of the kitchen for hours at a time. The kitchen is in need of many improvements so that it is more easily accessible, functional, safe, well ventilated, and is space efficient considering increasing demands.
