The Sherborn Council on Aging provides advocacy and support systems for older adults, their families, and caregivers by working together to maintain and improve independence and quality of life.

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, don’t forget Giving Tuesday which follows Black Friday. Please consider a donation to the Friends of the Sherborn Council on Aging this year. They have been a great support of the COA. It is with the donations they receive that they are able to support our many programs. Click here for a copy of the Annual Appeal letter. Thank you!
