Letter to the Medfield Community From The Medfield Home Committee Board Members
DID YOU KNOW….
The Medfield Home Committee (MHC) was formed on November 30, 1959 through the interests of six people who planned to obtain and distribute dinners, gifts, clothing and fruit at Thanksgiving and Christmas to any Medfield resident who would appreciate a little “extra cheer.”
The Medfield Home Committee is composed of approximately eight Medfield residents who volunteer their time and resources in helping others. In addition, various civic organizations, churches and schools contribute greatly to the MHC by donating baked goods, gifts and monetary funds collected from charitable drives.

All recipients remain anonymous except to the members of the MHC. Contributions are entirely voluntary and the MHC does not conduct drives to raise funds in town. All funds donated are spent for Medfield residents, thus the HOME in our organizations title.
Greeting cards are sent to the elderly and those in rest homes, letting them know that others are thinking of them. At Thanksgiving and Christmas, home cooked meals and baked goods are delivered to those seniors needing assistance. The Medfield Home Committee supports the campership program that the Medfield Foundation sponsors each year for Medfield students. A MHC tradition is to deliver a poinsettia to Medfield residents who have suffered a personal loss or tragedy during the year, or simply to bring a smile to someone. Annually, this is over 120 poinsettias! Fruit baskets, flowers, lap robes and afghans are delivered to the elderly in nursing homes. Periodically throughout the year, the MHC assists town residents in various ways.

The annual work of the MHC, which has continued for over 60 years, is made possible by the financial and tangible donations made by others. Donations to the MHC (a 501(c)3 organization) may be made at any time during the year and mailed to the Town House, c/o Medfield Home Committee, P.O. Bos 94, Medfield, MA 02052.
We thank you for your donations and your support.
