FRIENDS OF YARMOUTH COUNCIL ON AGING
Friends of Yarmouth Council on Aging (FOYCOA) is a nonprofit 501(C)(3) organization that financially supplements the Yarmouth Senior Center for requested items not covered by the Town of Yarmouth. We recognize our seniors as one of our most valuable assets and strive to enhance their lives by providing special events, programs, and volunteer opportunities.
2024 Update
We have completed another successful Polar Plunge. The funds that were raised will be used to purchase new furniture for the library at the Yarmouth Senior Center. Thank you to all volunteers who made this event so successful.
Throughout the year we have sent plants to our homebound seniors. These plants are accompanied by a handwritten note for each person. Thank you to Petals and Stems for their cooperation and to our volunteers for making this a welcome program.
Last year we had many meetings with Mark Forest, Kip Diggs, and Chris Flannagan concerning the town funding for the senior center. Happy to report that the funding passed at town meeting.
Eldred’s Antique Appraisals have always been well received as a fund raiser. We appreciate the staff from Eldred who donate their time to our seniors. This year we will be having 2 appraisal events, one in May and one in October.
Our informational brochures were updated and are being distributed at 3 Yarmouth libraries, the Yarmouth Senior Center and the Chamber of Commerce. Pick up a copy for updated information.
FOYCOA consists of all volunteers with no paid staff. If you are interested in volunteering for an event, please contact us at: COAYarmoth52@gmail.com. We would love to hear from you.
