Central MA Senior Connection

Free vision screenings and haircuts are coming to Worcester! Join Senior Connection's Care Express Bus at the Worcester Public Library on August 6 from 1:00–4:00 p.m. for an afternoon of free services for older adults (55+) and their relatives, including grandparents raising grandchildren.

Faculty and students from Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences will provide free vision screenings, while Barber Connect will offer free haircuts and trims.

Senior Connection is grateful to Congressman McGovern for his support in securing Congressional funding for the Grandfamily Village of Worcester at 264 Stafford Street in Worcester.

The residential community is designed to support grandparents and other relatives raising children. Construction is scheduled to begin in Summer/Fall 2027, powered by a $20 million capital campaign.
