☘️ What a Lucky March at Braintree Elder Affairs! ☘️
We’ve had a blast celebrating St. Patrick’s Day 2026 with all of you! From kicking off the holiday weekend with delicious "Cecilia Sullivan's" Irish Bread and the lively sounds of some Irish Tunes performed by Ronnie and Friends band. To our festive St. Patrick's Day Celebration with the full boiled dinner and bagpipes and singalongs on March 17th, the spirit of Braintree’s deep Irish roots was on full display.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for these wonderful events and made this March so special!

GIFT TREE FOR THE HOLIDAYS......As the holidays approach, let us think about those who could use some holiday cheer. This year our Gift Tree for the Holidays will be located outside and will be decorated with gift tags. The tree will start to have gift tags on it by November 21, 2025 and more will be added daily. If you wish, please take a tag which lists a specific gift item on it and purchase the gift for a senior who may be either in need, or isolated and lonely. NEW gifts only please. Please do not wrap the gifts. The gifts can be dropped off at the front desk or the Outreach Office. Our address is 71 Cleveland Avenue in Braintree. You may drop off the gifts Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Please drop off any gifts you have purchased by Monday, December 15, 2025. We will then wrap and deliver the gifts before the holiday. We thank you for your thoughtfulness and generosity.
