Dear Editor:

On behalf of the elderly and disabled, we'd like to extend our thanks to those who have donated to Needham's Elderly and Disabled Taxation Fund. This fund provides qualified low-income Needham seniors with assistance paying their property tax bills. With your donations, we've granted $135,850 in 318 separate grants over the past 8 years to 178 households. Thank you!

December is a wonderful time to make a contribution, whether you've donated to this fund in the past, or you're now considering making your first contribution. This is a fantastic opportunity to assist your neighbors, right here in Needham. Assisting Needham's elderly and disabled, you're truly making a difference. A donation of any amount is greatly appreciated. Your contribution is tax-deductible, and may be made payable to:

Town of Needham Tax Assistance Program,
