ALL Norwich Senior Housings will receive booklets, hopefully in mid to late July, to distribute to their residents. You must contact either the Resident Service Coordinator or his/her designee.
You will be required to verbally state that you meet the income limits and criteria for receiving. You will be asked to give a small amount of information such as Name and Address. You do not need to sign for the coupons. If you will be accepting the coupons and someone else will be shopping for you, you will be required to fill out a Proxy form, which your Resident Service Coordinator will have.
Limit of one coupon booklet per eligible senior. You CANNOT get booklets from multiple sites.
If you live in the Norwich/Taftville Community (non-senior housing):
On or after July 20th you must call the Senior Center at (860) 889-5960 to register yourself for a booklet. Once you have registered, you will be given a date and a time frame for which you can come to the Senior Center and pick up your coupons.
