Senior centers provide valuable resources
Social hub. Educational resource. Fitness center. Exactly what purpose Farmington’s Rambling River Center serves for the city’s senior population can vary greatly depending whom you ask. For some it’s a place to meet old friends and make new ones. For others, it’s a place to get needed food with events like a monthly Senior Food For Health distribution or day-old bread. Still others keep fit at the center’s workout room or discover new hobbies with groups that offer line dancing or wood carving.

Fundraising efforts pay off at Farmington's senior center
They come from a generation where hard work and dedication were not options – they was a way of life. If they wanted something, they had to work hard to get it. That’s probably why, after just 2 1/2 years, the members of Rambling River Center have raised almost $80,000 of the $90,000 they were required to raise as part of an agreement made before the current Rambling River Center opened in 2009.
