Red Bank will lease space in church for use as senior center
RED BANK – The members of the Borough Council in Red Bank have approved a lease with Trinity Episcopal Church, West Front Street, that will permit the municipality to use space in the church as a temporary senior center.
It is expected that recreational activities and meetings will be held in the building for the benefit of the borough’s senior citizens.
The Red Bank Senior Center, Shrewsbury Avenue, has been closed since 2019 due to infrastructure issues.

RED BANK - After she got word that the future of the Red Bank Senior Center was in jeopardy, Freda Terry decided to make the eight-hour drive from her home in Raleigh, North Carolina to join a rally here to save it.
Terry spent a decade as the center s director and watched seniors come to the center to play bingo, socialize and have access to inexpensive meals, all while overlooking the Navesink River.

Just to clarify, Councilmen Zipprich and Ballard had nothing to do with the rally. I appreciated the two of them attending, but they were not part of the organizing.
I personally invited Councilwoman Kate Triggiano, the Senior Center liaison, and she did not show. I am not in politics and I don t care for politics with its dog-eat-dog world.
The rally was my idea and it was PERSONAL for me as the former outreach worker for the Red Bank Senior Center.
