Slater Community Center receives $50k grant for facility improvements

The Slater Community Center in Bristol has received a $50,000 grant from the Department of Disability and Aging to improve facilities and activities for older adults. The grant is $20,000 more than the center received last year. The funding will help update the weight room and support its Parkinson’s program. The Slater Center provides older adults a place to build friendships and remain connected to the community. Center officials said creating opportunities for connection is especially important as the senior population continues to grow.
