From forgotten to flourishing 💙

In the heart of Fair Bluff, a community that has weathered so much, something truly inspiring has emerged. What was once called “the forgotten center” is now filled with laughter, connection, and renewed purpose.

The Fair Bluff Senior Center—now proudly named the 2026 Ann Johnson Senior Center of the Year—is more than a success story. It’s a testament to resilience, to rebuilding, and to the power of community.

Where attendance was once low and hope felt distant, today friendships are thriving and joy has found its way back home.

Here’s to the people who made it possible—and to a future that’s brighter than ever. 🌟 Columbus County Department of Aging New Hanover County Senior Resource Center BSRI - Brunswick Senior Resources, Inc. Pender Adult Services Summer Marie
