Sand for Seniors is a new program collaboration between the Northborough Senior Center and the Northborough Rotary Club. It is designed to increase safety during the winter and was created for senior residents who are physically or financially unable to acquire their own bucket of an ice melt product.
Senior residents may call the senior center at 508-393-5035 to sign up, and a volunteer from the Rotary Club will deliver a bucket of ice melt product right to the senior’s home.
Members from the Northborough Rotary Club met last week to begin filling the first buckets for delivery at the DPW garage. Ten buckets were delivered to residents in the first few days.
Sand for Seniors is available to Northborough residents, who meet the following criteria:
- aged 60 or older;
- live in own home;
- unable to physically get ice melt product OR unable to afford ice melt product.
If you are interested in the program, please call the Senior Center to confirm your eligibility. If you qualify, you will have a bucket of ice-melt product delivered to your door by a Rotary volunteer for use on your property. For more information or to sign up for the program, please call 508-393-5035.
