Merry Christmas from MVES to all who celebrate! We leave you with some festive scenes from our Integrated Care Team’s holiday party. Their energy and creativity is always applied to their holiday party, including the song that Inna and Yenny composed and performed for the occasion! In lieu of Secret Santa this year, the team chose to collect funds for a local organization. They raised $600 for Malden Warming Center — you can see MVES Integrated Care Director Amy Cataldo (left) presenting the donation to MWC Assistant Director Katie Dillon (right) in the 2nd photo.

Last week, we received a wonderful surprise. A team of care managers at Mystic Valley Elder Services had decided to forgo their Secret Santa gift exchange and instead pool their funds to support the Malden Warming Center. They arrived with a card signed by their entire staff and a donation of over $600.
This is what community looks like!

This week, teams from Mystic Valley Elder Services lent a hand to Feed the Funnel, a food security project organized by Encore Boston Harbor. Nonprofits, businesses and individuals helped the Encore team in packing meals for distribution. It’s a three-day event that happens twice a year, and each time, about 500,000 meals are packed. They go to local organizations like Bread of Life and The Greater Boston Food Bank. It’s a great effort and our team loved supporting it!
