The Amherst Council On Aging (ACOA) will be collecting donations of warm clothes, puzzle books, tea, cocoa, candies, lotion, lip balm, etc… all of these donated goods will be packed into gift bags and delivered to older adults.
Would you be willing to donate to the program?
Town Hall and the Bangs Community Center will both have donation boxes available from 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday beginning the first week in November and ending December 8.
We have two volunteer opportunities for this program.
Bag packing: bags will be packed on Tuesday, December 12. Interested individuals are invited to drop in during the Senior Center’s open hours (9:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m.) and join our merry crew.
Delivery drivers: we are recruiting volunteers to delivery bags to seniors’ houses the week of December 18. It’s a wonderful opportunity to make a meaningful connection this season. Interested parties should contact Julia MacFadzen (macfadzenj@amherstma.gov)
As a CoA member, I am wondering where this idea was generated.
True my email has been disrupted so I might have missed other
members generate the idea.
