A message from the Senior Center:
The Buzzell Senior Center will once again have our “Annual Giving Tree,” a tree decorated in ornaments with ideas of needed gifts for elders of Wilmington. The Giving Tree gives the community an opportunity to help others in town.
Beginning the week of November 25, 2019, feel free to come down to the Center and choose an ornament. We ask that you bring the wrapped gift (with tag) back to the Center by the week of December 16, 2019, to ensure that gifts are delivered in time. These gifts are delivered personally and truly bring a smile to all who receive.
If you know of any elders who would benefit from some holiday cheer, please contact Terri Marciello (tmarciello@wilmingtonma.gov) or Laura Pickett (lpickett@wilmingtonma.gov) at 978-657-7595. All names are kept confidential.
We thank you in advance for once again bringing the spirit of the holidays to those in need.
