Every day in our community, people are making a difference in the lives of older adults and people with disabilities. They deserve recognition, and you can help them receive it.
Mystic Valley Elder Services (MVES) will be presenting its Community All-Star Awards this spring. If you know someone who makes an impact, please nominate them for an award. They do NOT need to be affiliated with Mystic Valley Elder Services. The main criteria are:
- Someone who goes above and beyond for older adults or for adults with disabilities
- Active in one of the communities served by MVES: Chelsea, Everett, Malden, Medford, Melrose, North Reading, Reading, Revere, Stoneham, Wakefield or Winthrop
Examples of Community All-Stars include a volunteer who gives hours of their time, a veteran who supports older or disabled veterans, or someone who always helps out at the local senior center.
