About Us

In 1967, the old Corbin Park Methodist Church building was standing vacant, a target for vandalism and a neighborhood eyesore. A far-sighted neighbor took this as a challenge to begin a program for seniors. They advertised and a handful of interested people met to begin to lay the groundwork for what has become the most successful Senior Center in Spokane! Through the efforts of Corbin’s early pioneers and assistance of Doug Yeager, then director of the Area Agency on Aging, and the City of Spokane, a grant was written with the newly legislated Older Americans Act to secure funding for this new venture. In the early years, the Center operated on a very limited schedule. It wasn’t long before interest began to grow. Potlucks, card parties, knitting, crocheting, arts and crafts, and tours became the nucleus of activity. The center itself was becoming busier and busier with new classes and activities being added monthly. The next 50 years brought incredible change. Corbin is currently serving the needs of over 901 members!
