Welcome to the Great Falls Senior Center (GFSC) Website! GFSC mission: to serve, support, and enrich the lives of older adults in the Great Falls Community. |
River Bend Club - 375 Walker Rd, Great Falls
What is the GFSC? With support of the Great Falls Citizen Association, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved Great Falls Senior Center Without Walls (GFSC) in September 2012. The Commonwealth of Virginia established GFSC in November 2012. GFSC is now incorporated in the State of Virginia. GFSC is partnered with the Fairfax County Department of Neighborhood and Community Services in all ventures and events. While there is no brick and mortar building, the GFSC meets at the River Bend Club and other local places in Great Falls. | Scenes from Great Falls, Virginia |
