2024 – 2025 Resource Guide – In Development!
South Shore Elder Services is in the process of revising and updating our Resource Guide for Adults and Caregivers on the South Shore. We believe that a listing from your organization about the services you provide to the public would be a great fit for our Resource Guide.

All proceeds of your sponsorship go directly to the print and distribution of the Resource Guide.
