We are a consumer-centered organization that provides and coordinates services for elders, and others, with a focus on allowing them to live more independently in settings of their own choice. The communities we serve are: Beverly, Essex, Gloucester, Hamilton, Ipswich, Manchester-by-the-Sea, Rockport, Topsfield, and Wenham. We are the local provider of Meals on Wheels, and we also sponsor RSVP Volunteers of the North Shore. Last year, our volunteers provided more than 50,000 hours of community service!
