If you wish to have your taxes done by an AARP Foundation Tax-Aide volunteer, please call the Senior Center or stop by the reception desk to schedule an appointment.  Appointments are available on Tuesdays or Thursdays.

AARP Foundation Tax-Aide provides tax assistance free of charge, with a focus on taxpayers who are age 50 and older with low to moderate income.  Tax-Aide volunteers can help with most, but not all, tax returns.  If you have an extremely complicated return, Tax-Aide may not be able to help.

A lot of things have happened in the past few weeks to put a huge crimp on
our plans for conducting a food distribution during the months of February and
March. That last storm created a huge mess for Norwich and surrounding areas,
including the United Community & Family Services facility. When the Yantic River overflowed its banks, it traveled across the street to the UCFS building lower level where all of the food was stored! You can just imagine the devastation as the entire lower level needs to be torn out. Consequently, we will not be conducting food distributions during the month of February and probably the month of March. We will keep you posted as to the progress being made, fingers crossed and hopefully we can resume the program in April.

As an option for participants of our food distribution I would like to remind you of the Preston City Congregational Church Food Pantry. They distribute food on the 3rd Wednesday of each month between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and noon. The Preston City Congregational Church is located at 321 Route 164, Preston. All are welcome to participate.

We are pleased to announce that Uncas Mobile Health Team will be
attending the Preston Senior Center on a monthly basis beginning on Monday, February 12th from 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. The team offers preventative health care such as blood pressure screenings, and information about other health services provided by Uncas Health District. All are welcome to participate in this free service.

This addition to the existing Monday Café Program and the Cribbage players schedule will not interfere with those events. Come to the senior center, participate in one, two or all three events.
