Bozeman Senior Center

What Bozeman Senior Center does

Bozeman Senior Center is a nonprofit community organization founded in 1979 and operating in Bozeman, Montana, that serves adults aged 50 and older. The center occupies a building owned by the City of Bozeman and delivers a multi-program service portfolio including congregate meals, the Meals on Wheels home-delivery program, fitness classes, a woodshop, group travel, a thrift store, and event-room rental. Programs are coordinated through a small core staff team — Executive Director Shannon, Nutrition & Activities coordinator Kristi, and Bookkeeper Julie — supplemented by community volunteers.

The center's products are service- and community-oriented rather than technology-mediated: scheduled meals and nutrition programming, group fitness and wellness sessions, hands-on craft activity in the woodshop, organized travel excursions, and a retail thrift operation that monetizes donated goods. Underlying delivery is built around a fixed physical facility plus a home-delivery channel for homebound seniors, with no disclosed proprietary technology stack, digital platform, or automation layer underpinning operations.

The business model is a hybrid nonprofit funding structure combining a $20 annual membership fee, pay-per-use meals, fitness fees, thrift store sales, room rental income, travel-program revenue, and donations. Membership pricing is intentionally accessible, and customer relationships are held with individual seniors rather than institutional buyers. Revenue diversification across earned and contributed streams reduces reliance on any single funding source, while the City of Bozeman's building ownership effectively subsidizes fixed-cost infrastructure.
