Mystic Valley Elder Services Has Funds Available to Support Community Seniors in Need

Mystic Valley Elder Services (MVES) has received donations and grants from many organizations and individuals to help support consumers and community members in need during these unsettling times. These donations and grants will focus on the basic needs of older adults and adults living with disabilities and mobilize resources for emergency assistance to residents of our 11 communities impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The resources will be used for urgently needed assistance such as groceries, grocery shopping, limited rental and utility assistance, other support assistance related to the COVID-19 pandemic. MVES also has a supply of cloth masks for those who don’t have any other means to locate one. We will have them available for as long as our supply lasts.

“This funding provides much-needed support,” said Daniel O’Leary, Mystic Valley Elder Services’ CEO. “The funds will be used for senior meals, groceries, masks and other urgently needed assistance.”
