Old Navy Dedham Partners with Toward Independent Living and Learning

As part of Old Navy’s commitment to making a difference in their local communities, the Dedham retail store team has donated the funds raised through their annual Easter Egg Hunt to Toward Independent Living and Learning, Inc. (TILL), a human service agency based in Dedham, MA.  

The event featured an Easter Egg Hunt with face-painting, coloring and other fun activities throughout the day.    

 “We are thrilled that our Dedham neighbors have chosen to partner with us through their volunteer efforts.  We appreciate not only the donation, but their energy and enthusiasm for their fundraiser and support of our mission.” commented Dafna Krouk-Gordon, Founder and President of TILL, Inc.  Toward Independent Living and Learning, a not-for-profit human service agency, provides residential, clinical, family support services and day and vocational programs to meet the needs of individuals of all ages with acquired brain injuries, mental health issues, developmental disabilities, Asperger's Syndrome and those on the autism spectrum.
