Sharing and Caring Closet
ElderSource is offering a new resource for seniors, adults with disabilities and caregivers called the “Sharing and Caring Closet.” The Sharing & Caring Closet accepts and provides consumable medical supplies, at no cost, to those in need.
“We have been receiving a number of requests from seniors and their caregivers for items that are very expensive and often not covered by insurance,” said Linda Levin, CEO of ElderSource. “The Sharing and Caring Closet will officially open to the public in January and be in operation year-round with donations accepted during our regular business hours.”
Please send inquires and questions to SharingCloset@MyElderSource.org.
