The program meets three times a year at Central UMC for its Adventures in Learning series, which offers a variety of classes such as watercolor painting and crafts and activities including book reviews and musical entertainment.  It also coordinates trips, coffee chats and other programs such as a special Valentine's tea.

Shepherd's Center East also offers seniors transportation to and from medical appointments.   Volunteers are needed for driving and performing special office tasks, etc.
