Holly Place
Holly Place opened in 1988. It is licensed by DHMH and operated by a non-profit corporation formed to develop supervised housing for low-income seniors for whom neither independent living nor nursing home placement is appropriate. Largely due to donations from people like you, Holly Place has given refuge and a home to nearly 200 people. The Presbyterian Women will collect a featured item needed at Holly Place each month. This month, Dryer sheets is the featured item. Please place the dryer sheets in the tub marked Holly Place. The tub is under the counter in the parlor.
