    Transportation Woes…

    We’re in the process of developing a pilot program to fill-in-the-gaps and give a little assistance to our seniors to alleviate some of the senior transportation headaches. Our goal is to supplement our existing transportation service and offer ambulatory clients a means in which they can get to routine doctor’s appointments in the New London County area. More detailed information will be forthcoming in future newsletters. Stay Tuned for this exciting venture.

    Reminder: July Food Distribution

    The Food Distribution for July 5th has been cancelled due to the
    holiday. We’ll be back in business and eagerly awaiting your arrival for the
    August 2nd distribution. Look forward to seeing you then. We are most
    appreciative to United Community & Family Services to continue this
    important program at the Preston Senior Center. We welcome residents
    and non-residents alike. We are also fortunate to include the Uncas Health
    Mobile van at each monthly program. Nurses are available to answer
    health questions, provide their monthly newsletter, take blood pressure, etc.
