The SCC Turns 40!
As we commemorate 40 years of community needs assessment and fundraising, we want to recognize and remember all of those who have helped us reach this milestone…the donors, the volunteers, the friends and neighbors who keep us going year after year. Thank you!
A Tradition of Neighbor Helping Neighbor
The 2022-23 campaign raised $78,760 to support local nonprofit organizations such as the Stow Food Pantry, Minuteman Senior Services, and Randall Library. These organizations provide a wide variety of services benefitting our youngest to oldest residents. In addition, in 2020, we created the Stow COVID-19 Relief Fund which raised more than $40,000 for our agencies experiencing increased needs due to the pandemic. Most recently, the SCC worked with the Stow Police Department to purchase secure enclosures to store NARCAN, a medication used to reverse opioid overdose. The enclosures will be used at 8 public locations around town where NARCAN is stored. The SCC is committed to identifying the current needs, issues, and problems facing Stow residents in order to most effectively direct funding.
