Firestone Donates to the Meals on Wheels Program

Firestone Complete Auto Care has joined the Meals on Wheels Association of America and is committed to help end senior hunger in the United States.  In April, a new store celebrated their grand opening at 46 Washington Street in Attleboro.  As part of the celebration, Bristol Elder Services' CEO, Nancy Munson, was presented with a check for $500 from the Store Manager, Robert Barron, to support the local Meals on Wheels Program.  

  

May is Older Americans Month

May is Older Americans Month, a perfect opportunity for Bristol Elder Services (Bristol) to show our appreciation to the elders in our area. This year’s theme—Never Too Old to Play!—spotlights the importance of elders sharing their experience, wisdom, and understanding, and passing on that knowledge to other generations in a variety of significant ways. To commemorate Older Americans Month, Bristol is sponsoring various events. On May 15th a program entitled "Understanding Culture: A Bridge to Emotional Well Being of the Older Adult" is being held at White’s of Westport and is presented in partnership with Coastline Elderly Services and St. Anne’s Hospital.

WSAR radio will broadcast a one-hour live segment from our offices in Fall River starting at 9:00 a.m. on May 23rd.

Through the generosity of our home care service vendors, Bristol will distribute 27 May Baskets to various elders throughout the month.

We salute our seniors and remind them to take time out this month to engage in an activity that is enjoyable and connects them to their community.
