This year is no different. Mayor Carlo DeMaria and the Council on Aging are launching the Adopt a Senior Program. Many seniors are alone on holidays and often this year feeling isolated during the COVID-19 pandemic. This program is designed to add some comfort and joy into our seniors’ lives. We are requesting donations of toiletries, sundries, socks (white only, crew or ankle), soaps, hand lotions, sanitizers, housecoats/dresses, gloves and hats. All items must be new and in their original packaging. Donations will be accepted at the Connolly Center (rear door only) on Thursdays and Fridays from 9 a.m. until noon, beginning Thursday, October 29 and ending on Friday, November 27. These items will be distributed anonymously to seniors in need. Hopefully, we can spread some joy into the life of a senior. We thank you in advance. If you have any questions, please call us at the Connolly Center at 617-394-2323 or 617-394-2260. Please ask for Margaret.
