We continue to work with United Community & Family Services to provide the monthly food distribution at the Preston Senior Center. The program is open to residents and non-residents alike.
Beginning in the month of January, there will be invited agency guests who will hand out information concerning their particular agency. For example, one month it may be staff from TVCCA Energy Assistance Program, possibly a local health care agency or hospital to provide
handouts which you may find useful. This is an important way of getting the word out of services/benefits which individuals may not be familiar with.
We hope to continue our monthly distributions throughout the winter months (within reason,
blizzards are definitely out). Our January distribution will be held on Friday, January 6th from 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. February distribution will be held on Friday, February 3rd
.
Special note of thanks goes out to UC&FS and their staff for their continued support which they bring to Preston residents. I would be remiss if I didn’t also recognize the support from our own hard working crew including Cathy Brosnan, Sandra Allyn-Gauthier plus always ready to provide last-minute emergency coverage star Amy Brosnan!! Thanks to one and all.

The AARP Tax Assistance Program will be returning to the Preston Senior Center this year. We will be having some small changes to what we’ve done in the past and that is mostly due to COVID 19’s persistence in the region.
Appointments will be scheduled at one-hour intervals starting at 10:00 a.m. and continuing through 1:00 p.m. We will require that face masks be worn by everyone entering the senior center. We are also limiting the number of persons in the building at one time. We look to accommodate persons who have had their taxes done by AARP Tax Councilors at the Preston Senior Center as our priority. Some adjustments to our schedule are possible due to changes necessary to accommodate safety precautions.
The AARP Income Tax Assistance program is free of charge and will be conducted at the Preston Senior Center, 42 Long Society Road.
