See what’s happening at the East Lyme Senior Center!
Wearing a Cloth Face Covering or Mask
For the foreseeable future, while we are out of our homes, we are to wear a cloth face covering or mask in a public place when we are not able to maintain a safe social distance of approximately 6 feet from every other person. The mask should cover your mouth and your nose. If we ride in a taxi, car, livery, ride-share or other similar service or mass public transit, a mask is required.
If you are in need of a mask, we have been fortunate to get donations from Mask Makers in CT.
If you can afford to buy one, you can get a good quality cloth mask by calling That’s Sew Debbie in Groton at 860-333-1394. The cost is $10. That’s Sew Debbie has donated a lot of materials to Mask Makers and these sales help cover her donation costs.
Energy Assistance Program
Residents interested in the Energy Assistance program need to call TVCCA at 860-425-6681. This agency is also closed to the public, but they are processing Energy Assistance applications by telephone. Additionally, the authorization for fuel deliveries for this program has been extended to April 30th, 2020.
Volunteers Needed
If you or someone you know is interested in providing help during this time, please call the Senior Center. At this time, we have received only a few requests for help but in case this increases in the future, it would be helpful to have names and numbers at the ready.
The Senior Center has been asked what services are in place to help seniors in Town. Our response is that there is no set plan and the world is changing at a rapid pace. What makes more sense at this juncture, is for specific requests/needs to be expressed and a solution created. Do not hesitate to call. We’re in this together and we will come out together.
Senior Center is Closed to the Public
The East Lyme Senior Center is currently closed to the public until further notice.
The staff of the East Lyme Senior Center are reporting in daily. Our duties have changed and we are delivering meals for our Meals on Wheels program so you will see our vehicle out in the community between the hours of 10am and 12:30pm.
If you or someone you know is having trouble, don’t hesitate to call the Senior Center at 860-739-5859. You may have to leave a message but rest assured, we will get it and respond to you.
