As part of the festivities, all are invited to meet the staff and learn more about the growing CBES organization. CBES was founded in 1974 and currently has almost 100 employees who help over 3,700 Boston elders live with dignity each month.

As part of the ribbon cutting, there will be an interfaith blessing of the building, as there was for the groundbreaking.
