Youths Collect For Elders In Need

Intergenerational support for Mystic Valley Elder Services

Amelia Ferringo finished her junior year at Malden Catholic by giving back. She worked with her school to organize a “dress down day” to support the Emergency Closet of Mystic Valley Elder Services (MVES), which provides essential items like bedding and toiletries for older adults in the community. Working with classmate Ben Gowrie, Amelia’s efforts raised $2,180 for the Emergency Closet. Amelia also extended her efforts to Chelsea Jewish Lifecare, where she works part-time. She collected dozens of donated items for the Emergency Closet. MVES supports residents of Malden, Everett and eight nearby communities.
