Narrative

 Abington Elderly Services, Inc. was organized in 1978 for the primary purpose of supplementing public services to the elder citizens of Abington. It was the first such organization founded in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It became apparent to several members of the Council on Aging that some method of providing essential services, not always available through other channels, was vital to the concept of enabling senior residents to remain, for as long as possible in their own homes. Over the years financial support has been made available through numerous business organizations and private donors as well as bequests from several estates. The Abington Elderly are grateful for all past and future donations as they have allowed for important programs to be initiated or continued.
