Mystic Valley Elder Services clients recently received an unexpected but joyous visit from there care managers—Thanksgiving care baskets full of canned and boxed goods, non-perishable items, cookies, fresh fruits and vegetables, tableware and much more donated by employees of Comcast and Marriott. Both these initiatives, while endorsed by the organizations, are employee driven and employee contributions.

“It is the workers themselves reaching into their own pockets and going to purchase items for elders. It’s a grassroots effort on the part of the employees and their dedication,” says Jenny Vanasse, director of development at Mystic Valley Elder Services.

With the help of their generous donations, Mystic Valley Elder Services individuals enjoyed a good meal for Thanksgiving.
