The Layden Senior Citizens Center of Forney would like to welcome you at 101 Main Street in City Hall, open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. You may enter through the front or through Handicap accessible doors, located at the back of City Hall, where reserved parking for seniors is available.
The Center is a non-profit organization and we work on donations, so all donations are greatly appreciated. It is essential to donate to nonprofits. Nonprofit organizations, such as Senior Connect, depend on donations to promote their programs and help reach their goals. Partnering and supporting is of utmost importance. The Layden Center is always grateful for our consistent, terrific 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. Also, to Fay Headley with Edward Jones, who always provides a beautiful birthday cake to celebrate our monthly birthdays. Please frequent these generous donors whenever you can.
