Thank You from Family Promise Metrowest

Here is a thank you note we received from Family Promise Metrowest:

Dear Meredith, Charlie, Kerrianne, and Bailey,
On behalf of all the children and parents of Family Promise Metrowest, I thank you for so generously preparing them for the new school year with backpacks and school supplies chosen to meet their specific wishes and needs. Having these necessities in place is a critical first step to a successful academic year.
I am impressed with your maturity in organizing such an extensive endeavor -- reaching over 700 students! There are many stresses facing families on the road to permanent housing. Community support such as yours makes a tremendous difference.

Fashion Show

Each year, we give 200 backpacks to Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Boston. Catholic Charities is having its annual Fashion Show on October 20th at the Four Points by Sheraton in Norwood, MA. The event consists of a cocktail hour, dinner, fashion show, and many vendor booths. All proceeds support programs that help the families we donate backpacks to, including assistance at the food pantry, youth mentoring, adult education, nursing assistant training, and elderly outreach. Most importantly, the lucky kids who wear our backpacks to school everyday will be walking in the fashion show, and we happily support them in everything they do! This event is a great way for less fortunate children to show off their confidence to their community and raise money for the programs that make their lives better.
