BROCKTON AND PLYMOUTH… Staff at Old Colony Elder Services (OCES) in Brockton and Plymouth are helping support those in need of assistance by providing gifts, grocery gift cards, and essential items during the holiday season.
In December, The OCES Cultural Competency Committee partnered with My Brother’s Keeper in Easton to help families in the community through their Adopt-a-Family program. OCES staff purchased presents, including games, toys, and clothes, for five local families. Staff also volunteered to wrap gifts for families onsite. In addition to presents, each family also received a $50 supermarket gift card to help provide a special holiday meal.
To support individuals and families in need at Father Bill’s & MainSpring, OCES’ Protective Services team led an employee drive for donations of essential items such as personal care products, socks and more which were then delivered to Father Bill’s in Brockton.
