Compassion for this community means so much to everyone - and at ESAC, our work focuses on offering vital programs and services for low-income seniors in the Greater Boston area. Last year, over 300 people continued to safely age with respect and dignity thanks to the support they received from ESAC. This need in our community only continues to grow.

This year, we’re Celebration of 45 Years of Helping Seniors Age in Community and would like to invite you to join us on Thursday, April 25, 2024, from 6 pm to 8:30 pm at Venezia Waterfront Restaurant & Ballroom - to celebrate this milestone! This in-person event will bring together supporters, partners, and individuals who care about providing critical services for our lower-income elderly neighbors in the City of Boston. Our honoree for the evening will be Emily Shea, Commissioner of Age Strong Boston.

Tickets for the event are $150/pp and can be purchased below,

or directly on Eventbrite.

For questions or to make a pledge, please contact our Chief Executive Officer, Peg Drisko directly by email or by calling (617)524-2555 x102. I hope we can count on your support for this special celebration of ESAC’s work.
