Description

Founded in 1974, OCES proudly serves greater Plymouth County and surrounding communities. OCES is a private non-profit organization. OCES aspires to be a culturally diverse and inclusive agency that removes barriers creating equity for all by empowering individuals and communities to thrive, age in place, and reach their highest potential.

OCES' Nutrition Program is there to reduce hunger and food insecurity, promote socialization, and to promote the health and well-being of older adults and individuals with disabilities.

OCES' Money Management Program (MMP) helps older adults and individuals with disabilities in helping to manage their finances and pay their bills. The MMP program provides confidential assistance in managing a budget and keeping finances organized.

The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program of Plymouth County (RSVP), a program of OCES, is the Plymouth County chapter of AmeriCorps Seniors. RSVP works with our community Service Partners by utilizing the financial, infrastructure and human resources of RSVP. We recruit and interview volunteers 55 years of age or older, then align their abilities and interests to meet the needs of the community as provided by our Service Partners.
