Outreach Services are offered to the senior (60+) and disabled adult population of Scituate to assist with applications for financial and benefit assistance, including SNAP (Food Stamps) support, Fuel Assistance, Housing, Medical Insurance as well as information or referral to Meals on Wheels and the Food Pantry.  We have SHINE volunteer counselors to assist with information on Medicare and other health insurance questions.  We have rotating local attorneys for appointments one time per month, resource information for caregiving, and monthly appointments with the Town Nurse to check your blood pressure or answer other questions.  We offer limited monthly appointments with providers in Reflexology, Reiki and Chair Massage for a modest cost.
