Welcome to Hollin Hall Senior Center for Creative Retirement. Educating, Enlightening, Enriching Lives, and Empowering People for 40 Years in Mount Vernon
In 1982, the Mt Vernon Chapter of the AARP needed a meeting place and senior citizens in this area wanted to get together. With the support of Sandy Duckworth, then Supervisor and community member, Ann Nottingham, space in the vacant Hollin Hall School was made available to accommodate both of these needs. Hollin Hall Senior Center opened on January 31, 1983, and has grown by leaps and bounds. On the first day, 35 seniors signed in. Now the center averages over 150 each day! We have gone from 3 rooms with a program of six activities to 17 rooms and over 12 activities per day. We continue to have support from our wonderful volunteers, State and County government, local clubs, citizens associations and private and non-profit groups
Mondays through Friday, we offer a variety of activities and opportunities for companionship and fulfillment. This center is yours and is one of the largest and most active senior centers in the County. It is no wonder we are referred to as “the Lexus of Senior Centers”. We look forward to seeing you here at Hollin Hall Senior Center!
Our Programs are geared towards the recreational, social, physical and intellectual needs of senior adults, 50 and above who are residents of Fairfax County. We are sponsored by the Neighborhood and Community Services. We would not be what we are today without our wonderful volunteers!!!
