AVON, CT — The Town of Avon has launched a new Community Resource Guide designed to help older adults and residents of all ages find local services, programs, and support resources.

The guide, available online at www.avonct.gov/agewell, was developed in collaboration with older residents and is intended to make community resources easier to access, town officials announced.

The initiative is part of Avon's efforts to help residents remain connected to their community and access services as they age.
