Partnering with your town
The center serves 568 members: residents of all ten towns, 11 other Connecticut towns, and a few from out of state. The monthly newsletter reaches more than 600 people. Town officials and families refer seniors here, and everyone who comes is welcomed and helped. Our partner towns help keep these services going as demand grows.
We invite you to visit and meet the seniors from your community, and see the difference your support makes in their lives.
