Unusual site at the Doolittle Home
Many saw an usual site last week looming over the Doolittle Home. We are so happy to share we have started the modernization of our Elevator, which was originally installed in 1960. Atlantic Elevator utilized a crane to remove the motor and delivered the new motor to serve in its new home, for many years to come!. This is a very large undertaking for our small Home and glad to share the project has begun. This renovation will significantly aid our Resident population in ambulating throughout the Home!
Grace Chapel Church volunteered their services
Pastor Tom Boisclair and several other congregational members from the Grace Chapel Church in Foxboro volunteered their services in organizing items stored over the many years of collection.

The Residents, Board of Trustees and employees offered a batch of our homemade cookies to the Foxborough Police Department in support of National Peace Officers Memorial Day! We are grateful for their dedication, courage and service to our Home.
