10/20/2014


NEAR’s Community Service Committee reported that the Committee nominated My Father’s House and the Wish Project to receive the Massachusetts Association of REALTORS® Charitable Foundation Grant, and both were chosen as a $2,000 grant recipient!

My Father’s House, operates a residential parenting program for homeless pregnant, and parenting young women between the ages of 13 and 21 and their children.   My Father’s House was fortunate to have Lynne Shattuck of Sterling Stone Real Estate as a liaison during the application process.

The Wish Project mission is to provide basic goods to people in crisis.  Over this past summer, the Wish Project assisted victims of the Lowell Branch Street fire.  NEAR Affiliate Member Penny Hamel of Salem Five Mortgage Services worked together with the Wish Project on the application process.

The NEAR Community Service Committee is dedicated to assisting individuals and groups in the Merrimack and Nashoba Valleys who are in need.
