Our Campaign Needs You

Dear Neighbors and Friends, 

  

As we approach the home stretch of our Annual Campaign, we are asking everyone to consider helping us support more than 35 human service agencies in Concord and Carlisle.  We have set an ambitious goal of raising $650,000 by the end of June and need $100,000 more.  With a single donation to the Chest, you are supporting people who need food, housing, mental health counseling, elder services and early intervention services to name just a few.    

Donate now button

Please donate today by clicking on the green button. Any amount is appreciated.  Your contribution will help so many people.


Warm Regards,

Astrid Williams and Stephanie Parish

"My goal is to help raise self esteem in our children by offering healthy activities and empowering new interests outside of school," said Erin Duggan.  "I also want to help facilitate parents working together and provide important information and resources to families."

 

Erin will work closely with youth as well as schools, parents, town organizations and mental health agencies.  By promoting community wellness through information and referrals, she will help identify youth and family needs and collaborate with other critical agencies.  Erin can be reached at 978-318-3403 or at  eduggan@concordma.gov
