Mission:

Whatcom Council on Aging, in partnership with the people we serve, offers nutritional, health, social, recreational, and educational programs that promote lifelong independence.

Vision:

Lifelong empowerment through education, advocacy, and support:

• Independence through affordable housing, nutritious food, health care and programs that support lifetime wellness.
• Connections with community Senior Centers, programs and outreach.
• Opportunities for civic and community life engagement through education, recreation, and volunteerism.
• Self-respect through self-determined and independent living to prevent premature non-independent living and through opportunities for seniors to maintain autonomy.
• Good physical and mental health through proper nutrition, exercise, and other social activities.
• Community support built through advocacy for rights of older adults and through promotion of a positive image of aging.
