Freebies for senior citizens only

Published 7:10 pm Tuesday, May 12, 2009

Some senior centers in the area give out free groceries on various days of the month. It is all donated by bakeries, grocers, produce places, etc., and drop-offs by members and the public. Phone your local senior center to find out the dates, hours, other stipulations, and if you have to be a member.

By the same token, at some senior centers a barber will spend a day cutting hair for a minimal fee. Both men’s and women’s hair. Phone the center to be put on the appointment list.

If you are unaware of what senior centers are all about, pick up a monthly bulletin and calendar. It may be worth a few dollars a year to join. They have many free activities and programs, and trips at low cost.
