An important source of income and other resources for the Mizell Senior Center is Aunt Betty’s Attic. Currently, our little store operates from a space that is 21’ by 21’. When we can offer more space, more income will be generated to support the programs and services of the Mizell Senior Center. Opportunities to underwrite this capital project in full or in part will help us toward our goal.

Please contact the Executive Director for more information.

Although we provide a large number and variety of services to the seniors at our facility, and at  various senior housing facilities in Palm Springs and Cathedral City, we know there are seniors we are not reaching, but who need our services. The purchase of a community outreach van would enable us to visit area shopping centers and mobile home parks to provide information, health, and educational programs to additional seniors in the community.

Cost: $28,000

The Mizell Senior Center’s traffic has increased as we have made a larger impact on our community’s seniors’ needs. It certainly shows as the carpet has worn in the center. New carpeting will allow a warmer and cozier experience at Mizell.

Cost: $18,000

The portable dance floor in the Noia Auditorium is used every week for our Sunday dances and has served us well since we opened in 1991; however, a new, permanent, level dance floor would provide a larger space for the weekly Sunday dances, while creating a safer atmosphere for our seniors

Cost: $10,000

The dining floor is covered with carpet. In the dining room, it becomes very difficult to keep spot free. Easy maintained vinyl flooring will solve this problem.

Cost: $5,000

The Multipurpose Room is used for many events including daily meal service, and daily programs. The offices, counseling rooms, and other program areas are in need of a fresh coat of paint as well.

Cost: $2,500 per room

Updating our radio communications will greatly enhance communications between our Meals On Wheels drivers and the Center for their daily meal deliveries. The radios provide immediate communications with the drivers and staff at the Center in emergency situations

Cost: $438 each, for a total of $2,190

Thank you Sylvia Horwitz

Would be a replacement for our very old television. We would use the new T.V. to enhance our programs, show movies, and for social events.

Cost: $2,000

New Sign & Software Fulfilled by Emily Williams, Kiwanis Club of Palm Springs, Lamar Advertising, Daktronik, and Best Sign

Our electronic sign at the corner of Ramon and Sunrise is the “face” many people see of the Mizell Senior Center. New computer instructions (software) to run the sign will allow us to utilize the sign as a fundraising resource as well as a community education tool.

Cost: $2,000

Thank you Terrie and Marta Erlich

Our Music Programs are a big part of the Mizell Senior Center and a new piano would replace our existing, older piano and enhance our music programs on every level.

Cost: $1,800

Would replace existing 10 year old printer and would give us the ability to have all employees networked to use the printer and print color copies. Also would enable multiple color copies which would enhance our advertising for our programs and services

Cost: $1,000

Thank you Philip and Susan Mayer

Would replace existing, broken amplifier needed for our Music Program including weekly jam sessions, open mic singing and events where a microphone is needed.

Cost: $300

With the number of programs currently using the Noia Auditorium, there are times when our microphones are inadequate. The addition of a wireless lapel microphone would greatly enhance presentations and improve sound quality during the taping of seminars and workshops.

Cost: $350

Thank you Gary Kettman & Troy Jackson

More seniors are utilizing two wheeled transportation for fitness and economy. Mizell Senior Center needs a safe and secure way for these fitness minded seniors to lock their bikes.

Cost: $400

Thank you Cardinal Health Palm Springs

Phone Cards for Seniors
Increased isolation from family and friends is a frequent problem found among frail and poor seniors. This program would provide ten, 500 minute cards, to 10 needy seniors in our Meals On Wheels Program. 
Cost: $250 per set of 10 cards.
