We also coordinate two (2) neighborhood branch facilities and our Main Center, which encompasses 4,000 members.

Senior Citizens Facilities Senior Citizens Center 291 Ensminger Road Monday-Friday: 8:30 am to 4:30 PM Kenmore Mang Park Branch Mang & Wilber Avenues Mondays, Thursdays: 9:30 am - 2:30 pm Ellwood Branch Ellwood Fire Hall 1000 Englewood Avenue Tuesdays: 9:30 am to 2:30 pm Nutrition Services We understand the importance of a good meal and we also realize that for many people, situations in their life make it difficult to address this need. We have teamed up with Erie County to provide a nutritional meal weekdays at 12:00 noon for a nominal ($2.25) voluntary contribution. The meals are served at our main center on Ensminger Road and at the Mang Community Center on Wilber Avenue. Not only do they provide good nutrition, but they also give everyone an opportunity to meet new friends. To reserve your spot for the meal, stop in at 291 Ensminger or 135 Wilber. Ken-Ton Meals on Wheels If you, or someone you know, are homebound and without a personal care aid or family to prepare meals, call the Ken-Ton Meals on Wheels at 874-3595 for home meal delivery. Please remember - this Area program is for residents of the Town of Tonawanda or Village or Kenmore. TOWN OF TONAWANDA SENIOR CENTER VANS Transportation For Senior Citizens Age 60 & over With all the cutbacks in Erie County Government affecting many services provided residents in the past including the Going Places Van program, The Town of Tonawanda Town Board has decided to become involved in providing transportation to our senior residents so the program does not disappear.
