Company Summary
Until the 2008 flood forced evacuation, the Witwer Senior Center operated in downtown Cedar Rapids in a County owned building. When the Linn County Supervisors decided not to go back into the building after the flood, the senior center lost its home. Ten years later, Linn County still does not have a senior center and this needs to change. The older adults in our community deserve a place they can call their own.
