What We Do

The Montgomery County Committee on Aging (MCCOA), doing business as (dba) The Friendship Center (TFC), was established in 1973. MCCOA is the only non-profit organization specifically dedicated to serving the needs and enriching the lives of seniors throughout Montgomery County, Texas. Core services include a variety of programs that seek to meet the social, physical and emotional needs of seniors 60 years and older.

Participants are required to complete an in-take form to enable TFC staff to assess eligibility and establish the appropriate services for the applicant. Information is confidential and is a requirement of funding sources. Upon establishment of eligibility, participants are provided with the core services as needed. The Friendship Center's core services include:

  1. Senior Dining (Congregate Meals) - Hot meals are served at six locations.
  2. Meals-on-Wheels- Hot and frozen meals are delivered by volunteers to homebound participants.

  3. Transportation - Trips are provided for participants for travel to the centers for activities and meals, non-emergency medical needs, essential shopping and recreation. A 48-hour advance reservation must be made to secure travel availability.

  4. Senior Programs - Programming is developed with the senior in mind. Programs include arts and crafts, field trips, speakers, and a variety of other activities. Areas of interest are coordinated with local organizations, business and community leaders to bring presentations to the centers.
