seniors Millbury Sutton coat drive donations pandemic

The Millbury-Sutton Chronicle
MILLBURY — Dec. 8 and 9, both Millbury's and Sutton's senior centers received dozens of brand new winter jackets, warm socks and protective masks courtesy of Sheriff Lew Evangelidis and a non-profit organization.
Worcester County Sheriff Lew Evangelidis along with the sheriff's office annual winter coat drive co-sponsor, the Central Massachusetts Agency on Aging (CMAA), donated and delivered hundreds of brand new winter jackets, warm socks and protective masks to help elderly residents throughout Worcester County stay warm this winter season.
"Especially during the holiday season, it is vitally important to remember those who may be struggling during this challenging time," said Evangelidis. "Instead of cancelling our annual winter coat drive due to the constraints and concerns of COVID, our department doubled down on our commitment to help those in need during the cold winter months. "After months of hard work securing community grants and donations, we are able to donate, deliver and distribute almost 3,000 brand new winter jackets to the elderly, veterans and underserved communities throughout Worcester County. I would like to take this time to thank our tremendous coat drive co-sponsor, Central Mass Agency on Aging, and all of our community sponsors for their overwhelming kindness and generosity to help make this year's winter coat drive possible. Our goal is for everyone to have a safe, healthy and warm holiday season."
