The Scoop On Seniors

The Layden Senior Citizens Center of Forney is located at 101 Main Street in City Hall, open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

You may enter at the front or through Handicap accessible doors, located at the back of City Hall. Reserved parking for seniors is available 9:00-2:00.

The center is a non-profit organization so we work on donations and all are greatly appreciated.

As always, much gratitude for our ongoing donors: Panera Bread, Papa John’s Pizza, Smurfit Kappa, and our Bingo sponsors: Alinea Hospice, Cheyenne Medical Lodge, Empower, Rely On Credit Union, and Oak Street Health. Please frequent these generous businesses whenever possible.
