BELMONT — Holy Angels recently received a $7,000 grant from the United Way Virus Relief Fund to purchase Personal Protection Equipment – masks, gloves, isolation gowns and hospital-grade disinfectant – to protect residents and staff from COVID-19.
“This grant is important as we are serving a most vulnerable population – children and adults who are medically fragile and who are more at risk,” said Anne Bogen of Holy Angels.
