FRAMINGHAM, MA — Peggy Holland has been answering suicide hotline calls since 1986.
A decade ago, she became one of the first volunteers for Framingham-based Call2Talk.
This month, she was one of four senior citizens honored by the Framingham Council on Aging at the 3rd Annual Senior Heroes Awards. Holland was honored for her efforts in health/healthcare. Other recipients included Margaret Kelley, William Rabkin, and Norma Shulman.
More than 75 individuals attended the ceremony at the Callahan Center on Thursday afternoon, May 25.
In 2020, Framingham Council on Aging member Glenda Thomas came up with the idea to recognize “seniors who promote diversity and inclusion.”
