Norwich Human Services and Norwich Youth and Family Services are seeking individuals and organizations that are willing to adopt one or more families for our “Adopt-A-Family” program this Holiday season.  All Families are from the Norwich area and are in financial need with most living below the poverty level.

Thanks to the kind and generous support in the past by individuals and organizations such as you, we are able to make holidays more joyful for many young children in the community.  If you or your organization would be willing to adopt at least one family, we would greatly appreciate your support.

Please contact Norwich Human Services at (860) 823-3778

You or your organization will choose the size of family you are willing to help. You will be given information about the family in need, including first names, ages, sizes and special interests of each family member.  All families have been screened by a case manager to verify information and need.

Please consider sharing this request with your family and friends to help us identify new sponsors.

Thank you!  Your kindness will not be forgotten.

The staff at Norwich Human Services

The Thursday Quilting Class not only provides instruction and “show and tell”, but it also has the goal of providing “fabric creations” for local organizations for their practical use.

As the Rose City Senior Center resumed classes this past July, the group decided that its first priority would be to make a “raffle quilt” with the proceeds of which would be for our own Senior Center as a big “Thank You”.  Each class member made a square or two with existing fabric that had been donated over the years by generous senior citizens.  The sashing and borders were completed by classroom instructor Sharon Barry.  The top quilting was completed by Bonnie Doran and her long arm machine.

The pastel colored quilt that was made is on display in the front lobby for the next few months and raffle tickets are available at Reception.  The raffle drawing will be held on April 29^th.  Buy a raffle ticket and support this wonderful Senior Center that provides so much for our area seniors.

Dear Members of Rose City Senior Center,

Thank you so very much for your cards and prayers on the loss of my son Richard in January.

Your kindness is truly appreciated.   Sincerely, Helen Krasun
