About Us

Bugbee Senior Center helps older adults live independently. Area seniors visit the Center for meals, receive home delivered meals through our Meals on Wheels program, or enjoy various social activities, educational presentations, entertainment, and more. We offer transportation services and have a social worker on staff to assist with benefit programs. Additionally, we keep a small inventory of durable medical equipment (walkers, wheelchairs, etc.) available for free loans to those in need. We serve hundreds of seniors, primarily in the towns of Hartford, Norwich, Thetford, and North Hartland.

The Event

Bugbee’s annual Craft Fair attracts a loyal, dedicated following, and the fair will showcase the beautiful work being done by local makers. The event is festive, fun, and well-attended, with more than 400 shoppers expected this year to enjoy browsing your goods, seeing friends, enjoying some holiday treats, and being merry.
