Examples of how we help:

"Funding from the NSUW is cornerstone to the strength and stability of The Open Door.  The Open Door programs connect people to good food and reach the heart of basic need with vital support from the NSUW."  - Julie LaFontaine, Executive Director, The Open Door

“Thanks to the support of the NSUW we’re able to keep our Teen Centers open with longer hours and staffed with caring role models.”  - Beth Francis, Chief Development Officer, YMCA of the North Shore

 

"While the financial support from NSUW has been critical, working together on program development and participating in professional development opportunities has also proven very valuable."  - Sue Gabriel, Executive Director, Beverly Bootstraps Community Services

"Much of our exponential growth the past 5years is attributable to NSUW's seed investment.  NSUW not only contributed as our largest single donor, but served as a mentor and guide."  - Mickey Northcutt, Executive Director, North Shore Community Development Corporation

"The Student Assistance Program (SAP) has provided significant, direct services to students who truly need the assistance.  The program has truly helped meet the needs of many students in a very individual and beneficial manner. Ipswich High absolutely serves the needs of its students better as a result of the SAP."  - Barry Cahill, Principal, Ipswich High School

“The ability of HAWC to expand its reach to more people in greater levels of crisis, increase community involvement across Cape Ann to increase victim safety can be directly linked to the financial support of NSUW.”  - Clara Gaudette-Clark, Cape Ann Program Coordinator, HAWC

“My nurse is a Godsend…I would never have made it without these home health services.”  - Jim B., patient, VNA
