Central Crossing Senior Center receives exercise equipment donation

August 21, 2019

Thanks to the help of the community and local organizations, the Central Crossing Senior Center exercise room was able to purchase a recumbent stepper. This piece of equipment is used for rehabilitation after knee and hip replacements. Many people want to continue working on the same equipment they used during rehab after surgery, and now they will be able to do so at the center. The Alliance of Churches, the Thrifty Closet and the Lions Club helped make the purchase possible. Anyone can use this and any of the center's exercise equipment Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. For additional information, call (417) 858-6952.
