The Layden Senior Citizens Center of Forney welcomes you at 101 Main Street in City Hall, open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Please enter the front or through Handicap accessible doors located at the back of City Hall where reserved parking for seniors is also available.
The center is a non-profit organization and we work on donations, so all help is very much appreciated. If you have non-perishable food donations you would like to share, these can be placed in the food donation cabinet.
There is also a Blessing Cabinet. If you have items to donate or you need items, feel free to give what you can or take what you need.
We are always thankful for our generous donors: Panera Bread, Papa John’s Pizza, and our Bingo sponsors: Alinea Hospice, Cheyenne Medical Lodge, Empower, Rely On Credit Union, and Oak Street Health, each of whom contributes weekly prizes. Please frequent them whenever possible.
There are always terrific, fun activities happening at the Center, thanks to our wonderful Director, Dena. For example, recent events included our monthly birthday celebration on Wednesday, 4/20, and a fun trip to the Aboretum on 4/21.
Coming up for the week of April 25, there will be a pizza party, held on the last Monday of this month, 4/25. We will donate to the Food Pantry/Animal Shelter on Wednesday, 4/27. Last, but not least, a pancake breakfast on Saturday, 4/30.

Bingo on Mondays and Fridays at 10:00
Bridge on Tuesday, Thursdays at 12:30
