“We greatly appreciate the generous donation that we received from the Front Royal Federal Credit Union,” said Misty Alger, Manager of the Warren County Senior Center. “We are planning to use this money toward a new window A/C unit, as well as various activities that promote socialization with the seniors of this community. This donation comes at a time that investing in our seniors is not just appreciated but is of great importance to their wellbeing.”
The Warren County Senior Center is open Tuesday through Friday from 9:30 am to 1 pm. Seniors gather to socialize, share a meal, and participate in educational programming.
