Homer Senior Center seeks donations

The Homer Senior Center is raising funds after accruing substantial debt. Late last year, the nonprofit center revealed that it had debt from unpaid payroll taxes and unpaid invoices, according to a report in the Homer News from Nov. 21, 2024. 

In mid-April, the IRS executed a one-time levy, removing more than $138,000 from the center’s accounts—leaving it unable to cover essential expenses like meals, medication, and care for seniors, according to a message on the donation site.

The center’s Facebook page reads, “Homer Senior Citizens, Inc. has been a cornerstone of care and community for decades—but now, we need your help.”

The Facebook message goes on to say that donations will help the center rebuild after financial mismanagement from the previous center administration. The page directs prospective donors to use an online fundraising site:
