“There are numerous needs in our community, many of which are hidden. Neighbors in Concord and Carlisle face food and financial insecurity, support family members with physical and mental disabilities, require housing assistance, struggle with addictions, and so much more. Serving on the Allocations Committee was a small window into how local organizations are striving to meet these needs. It was inspiring to see the work that is being done and made me want to find more ways to help in their efforts.”
— Cate Waldeck, Allocations Committee Member
“I think a lot of people in our community aren’t fully aware of the breadth of programs the Community Chest supports. It isn’t just critical services to residents in need, but also innovative programs like Teen Buddies that help strengthen our community. As a volunteer for the Chest, I believe my biggest responsibility is to spread the word about all that the Chest does, so that all Concord and Carlisle residents will continue to benefit from those services in the future.”
— Alison Sullivan, Community Chest Board Member
“It gives our family great pleasure to support a respected, innovative and effective organization that does so many wonderful things to make the Concord and Carlisle communities such exceptional and supportive places to live and work and to raise families.”
— John Fossett, Local Business Leader
