Senior Matters ...

because seniors matter!

Senior Matters is a non-profit corporation that helps seniors in Carbondale, Colorado, and the Roaring Fork Valley.  Carbondale is located on the Western Slope of Colorado between Glenwood Springs and Aspen.

Folks in Carbondale realized that there were many offerings for our youth and other age groups, but there was no specific organization that offered activities for seniors. Thanks to the efforts of Virginia "gina" Sterrett, and many others, Senior Matters was formed in 2006.
