Cards with messages of encouragement to seniors. Care packages with essentials and activities to do while staying at home. Donations of hot meals and homemade masks.
The Groton Senior Center staff said they are seeing an outpouring of generosity from community members, students, and other seniors during the COVID-19 pandemic.
During the senior center’s meal pick-up, many people are not only buying a meal for themselves – but donating one too, said Groton Senior Center Supervisor Mary Jo Riley. People can order in advance takeout meals on weekdays, and the senior center is also delivering meals to homebound seniors.
