Assisting Elderly Women in Times of Need [TOWNSQUARE SUNDAY]

Assisting Elderly Women in Times of Need [TOWNSQUARE SUNDAY]
A local, but little-known organization has been serving the needs of older women in New Bedford for more than 150 years.
The Association for the Relief of Aged Women was started by Quaker Rachel Howland in 1866 and continues today under the leadership of Executive Director Clare Foley and its Board of Directors.
The Association recently awarded $275,000 in grants to area Councils on Aging and other organizations that provide programs for elderly women and others.
