Just in time for the gift giving season, Old Colony Elder Services (OCES), the non-profit agency proudly serving older adults and individuals with disabilities throughout greater Plymouth County and surrounding communities, has become part of the AmazonSmile program.
OCES is a registered charitable organization at AmazonSmile. Now, consumers can support OCES during the holiday season and beyond simply by shopping at smile.amazon.com and selecting “Old Colony Elder Services” after signing in. A portion of the purchase price (0.5 percent of eligible AmazonSmile purchases) is automatically donated to OCES. Consumers may shop AmazonSmile, which has the same products, prices and services as Amazon, knowing that a portion of their purchase will help support OCES, and that there is no additional cost to them or to OCES.
For quick access to OCES’ AmazonSmile page, visit www.ocesma.org/donations and simply click on the AmazonSmile icon.
“Now, consumers can easily support OCES’ Emergency Fund, Nutrition and other programs each time they shop with just a few clicks,” noted Diana DiGiorgi, OCES’ Executive Director.

Anyone wishing to make an online donation directly to OCES may do so on their new website, www.ocesma.org. When making a donation, there is the option of designating it to a certain program (such as OCES’ Emergency Fund, Nutrition or other program) or dedicating it in honor of, or in memory of, an individual or organization.
