Please call in your reservation by noon on the day before you’d like lunch. To make it easier, you can sign up for all the days you’d like lunch at the front desk at one time.. We ask for a $4.00 contribution for your lunch which includes: the meal, dessert and your choice of milk/tea/coffee.

Bellevue Senior Community Center 109 W. 22nd Avenue Bellevue, NE 68005

Over the past few years, the Bellevue Senior Community Center has experienced tremendous growth. As we continue to grow, we are always looking for new ways to improve the center. We strive to add activities and events, provide services to our area seniors, and give the seniors who attend our center a chance to get involved and give back; all the while keeping the senior center’s costs and overhead low. Continuing to grow while faced with today’s economy is not always an easy task.

Because of our growth, the Bellevue Senior Community Center has created another opportunity for seniors and others to support us, The Bellevue Senior Community Center Booster Club. The Booster Club is a 100% voluntary club that supports the efforts of the center. The cost to belong to the Booster Club is $24 per year. We pro-rate the cost if you sign up now to ONLY $2.00 a month!

Please complete an enrollment form and take it to the Front Desk at the Bellevue Senior Community Center. Your membership will be valid through June 30th, 2022.
