Gifts from MIT folks brighten 700 seniors' holidays
MIT's annual collaboration with the Cambridge Police Department to collect gifts for Senior Citizens in Cambridge returned for its 17th year! This program relies solely on generous donations from Cambridge businesses, residents, community members, and CPD employees. Gift bags are organized and distributed to seniors throughout the city on the days leading up to Christmas to remind them that they are not forgotten.
Every year, more and more seniors in Cambridge are identified as worthy recipients of this impactful program. The Cambridge community always rises to the occasion and meets these growing demands. With the community’s continued support, our goal is to ensure that no seniors feel lonely this holiday season.
