A Suitable Activity

Norfolk County Register of Deeds William P. O’Donnell recently partnered with The Office of Youth Employment and Opportunity of Boston to donate more than 300 articles of smart casual clothing, business attire, and suits for the 2024 City of Boston Youth Jobs & Resource Fair.

O’Donnell.
