About Our ProgramOur Sazzy Senior Program is held at St. Martin de Porres in North Omaha. SMdP is open daily; structured programming is offered on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Programming is provided for the cost of $20 monthly or $3 daily. A sliding-scale payment option is available to those who cannot afford the cost. Seniors have access to the onsite food pantry; a Homebound Senior Pantry Delivery Service delivers food packages to homebound seniors ages 60+. We also provide care packages to homebound seniors each month (filled with resource information, snacks, and toiletries). During the structured programming seniors are provided with on-site activities, nutrition, exercise, education, social and cultural events. A light breakfast and lunch meal is served. |

About our Seniors
About our Seniors
Our program is attended by men and women who’ve courageously served in the military, raised children, lost loved ones, and built careers. Each senior we serve has a powerful, inspiring life history to share. SMdP has literally been the CENTER of their world for a lifetime. Since 1957, the SMdP site has held many roles: daycare, community center, food pantry, and haven of hope.The Senior Program began in 2010. Many of those who attend our program once attended daycare in the very same building!
