For fifty years, the North Berrien Senior Center has stood as far more than a building. It has been a gathering place, a lifeline, a source of laughter, learning, and compassion, and a testament to what a community can accomplish when it commits to caring for its older adults. As the Center marks its 50th anniversary, it is an ideal moment to reflect on its humble beginnings, its evolution over the decades, and the countless lives it has touched along the way.
