A new community garden has been established at the Trumbull Senior Center, thanks to funding provided through the federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). Designed to be accessible and welcoming, the garden will feature raised planting beds, secure fencing, and accommodations for seniors and individuals with disabilities.

The garden's harvest will help support the Trumbull Food Pantry, providing fresh produce to community members in need.
