The service, with
Mrs. Harriet Hall as executive director,
is a non - profit voluntary agency offering trained personnel to assist people in Barnstable County by referral and family request.
Money donated from the ball will be used to provide free homemaker service to those who have no money to pay for the service,

and deal with
problems existing In that home -
problems which might involve
children,
the aging,
expectant and new mothers,
the handicapped, or
the chronically ill.

the mother is absent from the home because of
illness or surgery
and for
confinement on the recommendation of a physician,
when a
father
or other responsible person
must have help and assistance
in planning for the
children
in a
motherless home,
or when ternporary Illness makes it impossible for elderly couples to maintain their home without extra help.
