One of the things that makes the Sixty Forward Center special is the care that goes into creating a place, inside and out, where people want to spend time.

Within the Center, there are multiple and welcoming spaces you’ll enjoy, including an Atrium with a restaurant that is open between 8 AM and 2 PM Monday through Friday. This is a beautiful space where you can meet with friends over great food and conversation.

If you enjoy being outdoors and would like to spend time helping care for the landscaping beds, we’d love to have you join the team. Please reach out to Jenny at
[email protected]. To our volunteer w**ders, thank you! We are grateful for every hour you’ve given and every w**d you’ve pulled. It’s a reminder that what may seem like a little thing makes a big difference.
