AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM THE SAUGUS SENIOR CENTER

TO ALL OUR SAUGUS SENIOR RESIDENTS

    

      As you may know, due to the vulnerability of the population age 60 and over to the COVID-19 virus, the Saugus Senior Center has been closed indefinitely since the start of this pandemic.  However, the Senior Center staff is available by phone to assist our senior community in any way necessary.  Office hours are from 8:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. However, you may call and leave a message at any time, (please let the phone ring until you hear an answering machine), and we will do our best to assist you with any need you may have as soon as possible. Please call us at (781) 231-4178 if you are a senior and require assistance, wellness checks and/or any nutritional or essential service. We are all in this together, so please check in with your neighbors during this time that we are “safer at home.”  Remember, you are not alone, and the Saugus Senior Center is here to assist you in getting through these very challenging times.  We are very hopeful the doors of our Senior Center will be open soon!
