The Montville Senior Center is offering a FREE Better Health, Mental Health, Program at
the Montville Senior Center. Many people find the holidays difficult, or suffer from
depression, have anxiety, or just need someone to talk to. Mental Health is a very
important part of health care so you can be as healthy as possible! Don’t neglect your
mind while taking care of your body! Join a group for discussion sessions or sit down
one–on–one with our licensed clinician to talk! This program is made possible with a
grant received from Senior Resources with Title III funds made available under the Older
Americans Act. Don’t miss out on this great service! It’s never too late to start to take
care of yourself—mind, body, spirit! Call for details and/or an appointment!

Food Distribution on Friday, December 2nd

Posted on November 30, 2022 by Preston

Friday, December 2nd is the date of our next Food Distribution at the
Preston Senior Center. We distribute items from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and we
do not have advance notice as to what items will be distributed. We ask very
little of participants including wearing a face mask and to open their trunk or
indicate their choice of having food placed in the back seat of the car. We
appreciate each and every person that participates in this important program.
We do know that sometimes the wait period is longer than other times but, we
are trying very hard to accommodate the requests as efficiently as possible. The
staff from UC&FS does an incredible job of packing, unpacking, moving the tables,
stocking supplies in the refrigerated van and on and on. Similar to our trusted
mail carriers, they are out there in the rain and snow. Incredible group of people
caring about what they can do to make your life a little better. We are also
anticipating a January 6, 2023 Food Distribution at the Preston Senior Center from
10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
