This May, it’s easy to give back while you shop 🌼

Coastline has been selected as the benefiting organization for the Give Back Where It Counts program at Shaw’s in Dartmouth!

When you purchase a $3 reusable Give Back bag at the Dartmouth store (15 State Rd.) during the month of May, $1 will be donated to Coastline to support programs that help older adults and people with disabilities live independently.

It’s a small action that makes a meaningful local impact. Thank you for supporting your neighbors and community!

A little Easter joy goes a long way 🐰

This week, our wonderful nutrition team at the Fairhaven COA shared a few laughs after a Social Day participant surprised them with bunny ears and a chocolate bunny. Pictured here are Kim Brown, Wayne Chase, and Sue Ouimet, three of the caring faces behind Coastline’s nutrition program who bring warmth and kindness to everyone they serve.

In that same spirit, we’re wishing everyone a bright, joyful, and peaceful Easter! Thank you for being a part of the Coastline community!
