Programs & Services
The mission of the Fairfield County Council on Aging is to improve the quality of life for seniors in our community. With your support, we can provide vital services and resources to those who need it most. We invite you to join our cause and make a difference. Your involvement will make a significant impact on the lives of our seniors.
Meals on Wheels
FCCOA delivers hot and frozen meals directly to seniors’ homes, ensuring they receive balanced nutrition. Eligibility is determined through an assessment by Central Midlands Area on Aging and FCCOA, with priority given to those in greatest need.
Most meals are donation-based, though private pay options are available. All donations directly support the program. If a client’s situation changes, they may rejoin the program when a slot becomes available. Contact us for more details.
*Determination will be made on a case by case basis and may require a nominal fee.
(FCCOA is 501(c)3 agency. All donations made to the agency may be considered tax deductible.)
Winnsboro Senior Center
Seniors aged 60 and above are invited to join the vibrant community at the Winnsboro Senior Center. This 5,000-square-foot facility is designed to meet the unique needs of Fairfield County’s seniors, offering a spacious dining area, a well-stocked library, a multipurpose room, and a fitness area. Enjoy daily programs and nutritious meals in a welcoming environment.
Group Dining
