Heartfelt Community has received a $5,000 Community Service Grant from the Massage Therapy Foundation to fund its Compassionate Touch for Veterans with Dementia project. The grant will provide Compassionate Touch and education to veterans with dementia, helping to reduce distress and increase feelings of safety. Heartfelt Community was founded in 2021 by Ginger Spencer, owner of Heart Felt Touch Massage Therapy in Gloucester, whose passion is serving those in the later stages of life. The project includes direct Compassionate Touch sessions for veterans and a workshop for healthcare staff and family caregivers, teaching safe, effective techniques when a licensed massage therapist is not present. “This grant allows us to bring comfort and connection to veterans who have given so much,” said Leah Massey LMT, Project Leader. “We hope this project has lasting benefits for veterans and their families.” For more information, visit www.HeartfeltCommunity.org or contact vice president Anna Rob...
