OCES Team Volunteers at Plymouth's Camp Squanto

Old Colony Elder Services (OCES), the non-profit agency proudly serving older adults and individuals with disabilities throughout greater Plymouth County and surrounding communities, was one of 14 organizations that partnered with the United Way of Greater Plymouth County to send volunteers out into the community as part of their annual "Day of Caring" campaign.

On September 16, 2016, OCES' volunteer team of eight focused on brush clearing at Camp Squanto, part of the Boy Scouts Old Colony Council located in Plymouth. Camp Squanto is a 650-acre camping facility located in the woods of Myles Standish State Forest. OCES' volunteer team - Jean-Marie Doyle, Nikolas Finn, Richard Rodriguez, Rose Kennedy, Dan Forand, Donna Forand, Rosanna Wong and Brenda Carrens - dedicated five hours to the project.

The “Day of Caring” was originally established to promote volunteerism, community spirit, and working together for the common good. This year, a total of 103 volunteers from organizations throughout the area participated in United Way of Greater Plymouth County's campaign and tackled a number of projects ranging from organizing food pantries to cleanups and landscaping.

"OCES is proud to be a part of the 'Day of Caring' where volunteers from many different organizations come together to give back to the community," said Diana DiGiorgi, OCES' Executive Director.
