the Gerald Flynn House to help residents and

our House Manager do some fall yard work! 

 

Charlie DeSimone, Commercial Lender; Kelly Benway, New Business Development; and Mark Scala, Director of Marketing and Community Relations all came to the Gerald Flynn House and rolled their sleeves and worked. They also donated fall pumpkins and mums to complete the project!

 

Other Flynn House news is the completion of another bedroom rehabilitation project, with new windows, newly refinished hard-wood floors and repaired and painted walls.

 

This summer / autumn we have had two individuals graduate from the Flynn House program and return to independent living within our community!  We currently have four individuals on our waiting list.

 

The Flynn House is in need of a bedroom bureau, a nightstand and table lamp, if anyone from our community is interested in making an in-kind or monetary donation, please contact the Falmouth Housing Trust, Executive Director, Anne Saganic, at info@FalmouthHousingTrust.org or 508-540-2370.
