ROCHESTER — The town’s senior center will close at noon on Dec. 24 and remain closed until Monday, January 11. The center remains closed to the public, but is staffed and able to
arrange van rides, food distribution, lending of medical equipment and other services. Residents are urged to call for details or if they have needs.

The center provides free transportation to and from local appointments for Rochester residents. Call for a ride at least 24 hours in advance so the center can schedule a driver.

Call the Senior Center at 508-763-8723 for more information or to make reservations for rides and/or events.

The Council on Aging also participates in various programs for those who are food insecure. Qualifications vary depending on the program. Those experiencing food insecurity, even temporarily, should call the senior center. It can also help with fuel assistance programs for families and seniors.

The Rochester Senior Center would like to send a big “thank you” to Outreach Coordinator, Lorraine Thompson, and her crew of volunteers for preparing and delivering a wonderful ham
dinner on 12/18/2020, despite the snowstorm the previous day.

The Rochester Senior Center would like to wish everyone a very happy and healthy holiday season and looks forward to ringing in 2021 and being together again soon.
