The Elmwood Senior Center, a division of the West Hartford Department of Human and Leisure Services, in an effort to give back to the local community conducted a month-long Toys for Tots toy drive in conjunction with U.S. Marines Corps.

Thanks to the generosity of the engaged Elmwood Senior Center community, at the end of the toy drive, 403 new, unwrapped toys were collected for deserving children in the community!

Director Kathleen Faroni said the Elmwood Senior Center is one of two Town of West Hartford senior centers and their motto is “Experience the Energy.” Throughout the year, Elmwood Senior Center hosts a variety of trips, classes and special events that are seasonal, entertaining, informative, and always fun!
