Saint Paul's Elder Outreach at Lincoln Village

Saint Paul's Elder Outreach Director Vo Robert received a call from Lincoln Village, an apartment complex for seniors in Worcester, that a number of seniors needed food. Vo was receiving food donations from Team Generous Hearts around the same time, and was able to help about 20 residents at Lincoln Village through the invaluable assistance of Team Generous Hearts!

Saint Paul's Elder Outreach Director Vo Robert and several wonderful volunteers continue to deliver emergency food, household, and personal care items to isolated at-risk seniors in Worcester 5-6 -7 days per week, through the support of a number of organizations, the City of Worcester, companies, and foundations.

"We are blessed to be accessing a lot of food from a number of food pantries in the city, but food items for those with special diets, household items, and other supplies not found at food pantries make up a lot of what we provide seniors." Robert states. "We're always thrilled to receive donations of grocery store gift cards, as well as help provided by Team Generous Hearts and other community organizations--without which we could not help nearly as many seniors as we do!"

Team Generous Hearts is a group of people from the area who are truly making a difference by contributing food to a number of organizations, including Saint Paul's Elder Outreach and Lincoln Village. What a great blessing and community resource!
