On Wednesday, through JVS's partnership with Life Science Cares, a group of Omega Funds employees assembled hygiene kits filled with essentials like lotion, shampoo, conditioner, shaving kits, and body wash, for JVS clients. These kits will be distributed to clients across the agency, many of whom are living in shelters or receiving public benefits in Greater Boston. Thank you, Omega Funds and Life Science Cares Boston for your impactful support! #LSC
