Old Colony Elder Services Staff Gives Back to Area's Youth through Angel Tree
BROCKTON, MA, December 09, 2011 /Medical PR News/ -- This holiday season, the staff at Old Colony Elder Services (OCES), the regional elder services agency serving seniors, their families and caregivers throughout greater Brockton and Plymouth county, is reaching out to the younger generation. They are "giving back" to the community's youth by participating in the Salvation Army's Angel Tree Program.
Staff members from the Brockton based elder services agency select gift tags which list the first name and age of each child, and then they fulfill children's holiday wishes by purchasing the suggested gifts.
Last year OCES provided more than 50 gifts to the area's children. For more information about the Salvation Army's Angel Tree program visit www.salvationarmyusa.org.
