As the pandemic continues to impact people across the world, scammers and cyber criminals have seized this opportunity to prey on the high anxiety levels and the sense of vulnerability we all are experiencing. Beware of COVID-19 cons, such as emails offering a Coronavirus vaccine or access to critical medical equipment. Some of these emails ask for credit card information, then bill you for products that never arrive. Others include a link that will install Malware on your computer giving these scammers access to all your passwords. Delete the email and block the sender. The FCC is also aware of robocall scams with COVID-19 themed work-from-home opportunities, student loan repayment plans, and debt consolidation offers. Keep your wits about you and if you think you've been a victim of a Coronavirus scam, contact law enforcement immediately.
Committed, tireless, selfless and mission-driven are a few words that describe our front line team members during this COVID-19 crisis. Together, we are rising to meet the ever-changing obstacles we face. Thank you to our staff for defining what it means to be #strongertogether
We recently completed our "Warm Hands, Warm Hearts" winter clothing drive to benefit the Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program. Thank you to everyone who donated!

We look forward to continuing to work with them in the future. #wearepeabody #peabodyhelpinghands
