On Wednesdays at Hamtramck’s Veterans Park: Members of Peoples Community Services – one of our “Strides for Seniors” partners – participate in the self-directed “Walk With Ease” program. In addition to walking, Peoples’ Wellness Manager Leslie Minard leads the group through a series of stretching exercises. Located on the south end of Hamtramck, a diverse community of long-time residents and recent immigrants, Peoples offers a variety of services and has several classrooms used for arts and crafts, adult education, and meetings. The Senior Day Time Center, founded in 1977, is a full service agency staffed by caring medical and social work professionals – offering food, friendship and care.
Kickoff to 2026
On August 20, the annual Strides for Seniors was launched at St. Pat Senior Center - featuring a yard sale, DJ Tim and dancing, and a lunch of Detroit favorites like Coney Dogs, Boston Coolers and Better Made Chips. The September long campaign promotes our neighborhood senior centers, powered by Detroit Area Agency on Aging, Detroit Parks & Rec and St. Pat. Here's a 60 second video of the excitement.
