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.
Spring Updates
We had a terrific Polar Plunge on January 1, 2025. The weather cooperated somewhat, the rain stopped but the wind increased. We still had over 200 plungers and many more spectators than expected.
The Yarmouth Police Department was represented by Deputy Chief Andrew O’Mally and past chief Frank Frederickson. Three EMT’s were also on location for emergencies. Thank you to John Hayes and his crew of volunteers for making this such a successful event. All funds raised were given to the Yarmouth Senior
Center, all Friends of Yarmouth Council on Aging volunteers are unpaid.
During the year we periodically distribute flowers to 200 home bound seniors through the Meals on Wheels Program. In March we distribute daffodils and in December we distribute poinsettia plants. All our flowers come with a handwritten note for each senior.
Thank you to Val and all our volunteers for assisting with distribution.
Eldred Antique Appraisals have always been well received as a fund raiser. We
appreciate the staff from Eldred who donate their time to our seniors. We will again be having 2 appraisals events this year – May and October. Look in the Milestones for
specific dates and times.
Your generous donations, in addition to membership dues and Polar Plunge Funds were used to purchase new library and patio furniture for the Yarmouth Senior Center this year. Come and enjoy!
FOYCOA consists of all volunteers with no paid staff. If you are interested in
