Hand sanitizer will be available throughout the building. Increased cleaning protocols are in place. We strongly recommend that participants follow proper handwashing and respiratory etiquette.

Aluminum Cans
Did you know there is a re-cycling bin for the Silverdale community and our Center for aluminum cans for recycling? This very long dumpster is in the back of the parking lot, where you can bring only your aluminum cans. Please don’t bring anything else to put in the re-cycling bin. It’s only for aluminum cans.
The proceeds from recycling are then donated to the Center by the Silverdale Borough Council. Thank You!
