- Client Clothing Program — Seniors are eligible for a $50 clothing voucher, four times a year, which they can use to purchase boots, shoes and any clothing they require. The Client Clothing Program Coordinator books appointments, meets with clients, and explains how the voucher program works. Clients are offered information about food pantries, community meals, heating assistance, food stamps, housing, and other Haverhill services.
