Financial Report:

Tthe administrators of Sercovie adopted a deficit budget for the year 2020-2021 in the face of the multiple constraints in terms of stand-alone sales and service closures resulting from the pandemic. In light of that reality, the organization is particularly proud to be able to file financial statements showing that efforts to return to a balanced budget have paid off

A team that knows how to adapt:

Due to the Pandemic, the Sercovie activity center in Fleurimont switched to ‘virtual mode.’

The MOVE50 + project (Mon Objectif Vieillir En forme), the benchmark in physical activity for people aged 50 and over, was among the 10 global finalists for the Fit for life award in Switzerland.

The frozen take-out counter has seen an explosion in sales.

Strong positive results emerged from the survey to which nearly 550 Meals on Wheels customers responded.

Everyone is welcome to the general assembly, however, only members in good standing will have the right to vote.

Sercovie’s name is a French acronym for Community Life Services. Founded in 1973, the organization has the mission of promoting the adoption of a healthy, active and enriching lifestyle among people aged 50 and over through leisure and volunteer activities aimed at helping seniors and people losing their autonomy, in particular through the

Meals on Wheels service, which is the largest of its kind in the region. Over the course of 2020, the organization delivered 144,506 meals to close to 1,500 seniors. Sercovie’s program offers hot and frozen meals delivered to seniors or people with a loss of autonomy in order to support their independence and autonomy. Meals are available for delivery five days a week starting at $ 6.00 for frozen meals and at a cost of $ 6.75 for hot meals.
