Food Distribution
The next food distribution will be held on Friday, December 3rd
at the Preston Senior Center from 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. United Community & Family
Services coordinates this wonderful program each and every month. I have been
told that as long as there is a need in Preston, they will keep the program operating. UCFS has a superb group of individuals who brave the rain, snow and
sunshine (like the mailman) to ensure that the program survives. The program
doesn’t happen by itself either! Cathy Brosnan and First Selectwoman Sandra
Allyn-Gauthier work tirelessly to keep the traffic flowing smoothly and distribute
the bags of food into each and every vehicle in attendance. We do have many,
many Preston residents participate but the program is open to everyone, no
matter where they live. Truly an important program for our community and
beyond.
Changing Hours
The Preston Senior Center will be expanding their hours of operation on
Monday’s from 1:00 – 3:00 p.m. starting on December 6th. All residents are
welcome to come to the center, enjoy games, (bring your own or we have oodles
to share). You don’t have to register; the doors are open for folks to enjoy a
relaxing few hours with friends. We look forward to seeing you on Mondays. (The
center is closed on holidays and inclement weather). If you have questions,
please feel free to contact the Senior Affairs Office at 860-887-5581 extension 6.
