Safety tips
Stay in the kitchen when you are cooking on the stovetop so you can keep an eye on the food. Stay in the home when cooking your turkey and check on it frequently. Keep children away from the stove.The stove will be hot and kids should stay 3 feet away. Make sure kids stay away from hot food and liquids.The steam or splash from vegetables, gravy or coffee could cause serious burns.
Keep the floor clear so you don’t trip over kids, toys, pocketbooks or bags.
Keep knives out of the reach of children. Be sure electric cords from an electric knife, coffee maker, plate warmer or mixer are not dangling off the counter within easy reach of a child.
Keep matches and utility lighters out of the reach of children — up high in a locked cabinet. Never leave children alone in room with a lit a candle. Make sure your smoke alarms are working.Test them by pushing the test button.

Annual Frederica Senior Center Fundraiser begins November 1st
(Your contributions will allow us to continue to grow and provide the best possible facilities and services.)
Frederica Senior Center provides a variety of programs and services for people age 55 and over or disabled. The two primary services include, outreach social services and nutrition.
Outreach help seniors and many veterans navigate through a maze of information, forms, applications and resources to assist seniors to live safely in their own homes. Frederica Senior Center Outreach program provides transportation to seniors for daily attendance and medical appointments.
The nutrition program offers free and low cost home cooked breakfast and noon meals on weekdays. We are pleased to announce our meals services has increased over one hundred percent since last year; serving over twelve hundred meals last month alone. But as meals service increases, so does the cost for the center to provide these hot home cooked nutritious meals.
Frederica Senior Center is asking for you to donate to our fund drive this year to continue to provide the needs of our growing senior population. Please help us to feed our seniors.
