Celebrating 30 years of Enriching the Lives of Amesbury Seniors

It’s time for our ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP DRIVE! If you partake in any of the activities at the Amesbury Senior Center, you know there is no cost to you, but please be aware that the cost is borne by the Friends of the Council on Aging. Membership dues are an important part of this funding and your annual membership will help keep this possible. In addition, your membership entitles you to a discounted ticket for the annual COA Cookout and COA Holiday Lunch. You do not need to be an Amesbury resident to support the FCOA.

FCOA is a charitable 501(3)C fundraising non-profit with a sole purpose of providing funds to the Amesbury Council on Aging to help Senior Citizens as needs arise beyond the scope of the city budget. 

Join or renew by January 1, 2025 for only $15.00 per person. For an application and to make a payment, use the DONATE button or stop by our thrift shop, Penny Mill, at the Amesbury Senior Center, or mail a check payable to FCOA with a memo of “Membership Dues” to FCOA 68 Elm St. Amesbury, MA 01913.

Thank you for your support!
