FORT WASHINGTON, Pa. —Senior centers connect about one million older adults to vital community services and provide opportunities for recreational, educational, and health-promoting activities. After a cold winter and an ongoing pandemic, seniors are eager to head to their local senior center to play cards, attend exercise classes, reconnect with friends, and have some fun.

As a component of TruMark Financial® Credit Union’s Concern for Community initiative, the credit union donated tote bags filled with walking canes, grabbers, and magnifying glasses to local senior centers. Also included were a supply of large print puzzle books and playing cards. ”Wayne Senior Center is so pleased to receive a generous donation from TruMark Financial® Credit Union, a community partner.
