Outreach Coordinator

Millbury Senior Center Outreach Coordinator is Julie Fitzgerald. 

Outreach:

Our Outreach Program is particularly vital as it is aimed at serving the most vulnerable members of the population. The role of our Part-time Outreach Coordinator is to connect the elderly residents of Millbury with the various support services that are available to them. We offer a variety of resources to support our community, including help with Farmers' Market coupons, fuel assistance (available from November to April), housing options, referrals to Worcester Elder Services, medical equipment, assistance with applications, and SNAP benefits (also known as food stamps). If you have concerns about your aging parents or other elderly family members, we offer assistance through our Outreach program. Seniors living alone can receive home visits, service referrals, and telephone reassurance and support. We collaborate with community organizations to provide programs and referrals that promote dignity, informed decision-making, and aging in place for residents.

The Outreach Coordinator facilitates a Memory Café once per month, Memory Cafés are a comfortable, social gathering in a welcoming place for people with forgetfulness or other changes in their thinking. It allows them to connect, socialize, and build new support networks. Cafés are free to attend and welcome to all.

Outreach also participates along with the Director in ongoing continued education through classes, certifications, and conferences.
