We’re proud to support MishStrong in providing emergency clothing bags for children in need.

Something as simple as having clean clothes and basic essentials can make a difficult situation feel a little easier for a child. We’re grateful to be able to support an effort that helps bring comfort, care, and dignity to local children and families during challenging moments.

Thank you to MishStrong for the meaningful work you do and for letting us be a small part of it. We’re honored to support your mission and the impact you continue to make in our community.

We were proud to partner once again with Welcome To Floristry to help make prom and junior social a little more special for Haverhill High students!

Through our donation to Cinderella's Closet, corsages and boutonnieres were available to help students celebrate these memorable milestones and feel their best on their big night. Together, we are committed to creating opportunities for every student to participate in these special experiences with confidence and joy.

Celebrating Read Across America, one of Jean’s favorite days of the year.

In honor of Jean’s lifelong love of literacy, the Jean Ray Scholarship Fund donated a copy of Mr. Ferris and His Wheel to every Haverhill Public Schools kindergarten classroom.

Jean believed deeply in the power of reading to spark curiosity and confidence in young learners. Whether visiting classrooms or sharing stories with students, she knew that books open doors.

We’re proud to continue her tradition of supporting literacy and putting stories into the hands of the next generation.
