The Town of Glastonbury offers a wide variety of programs to support a healthy, active, and safe community for residents of all ages and interests. Many of these programs are made possible by the generosity of individuals, businesses, and community groups in Town and a selection of opportunities to give are outlined below. In fact, the Senior/Social Services division coordinates several programs which depend entirely on community donations and contributions, such as the Food Bank and Fuel Bank, while others leverage donations to provide special programs and purchase special furnishings or equipment, such as the Senior Center and Dial-A-Ride.  

See more information below about the numerous ways you can support Town of Glastonbury programs & services and thank you in advance for your generosity!
