This October, we're wearing pink and purple for two causes that touch so many lives. 💗💜

Our Family Services team, alongside our fiscal sponsorship partners at LMCC Lawrence Methuen Community Coalition, Uncommon Threads, and One Wish Project , came together to recognize Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

To the survivors, families, and everyone whose lives have been touched by breast cancer or domestic violence, we stand with you.

Together, we raise awareness, show support, and remind our community that no one has to face these challenges alone.

180 walkers and supporters. 256 donors. More than $35,000 raised. And SO much hope. 💚

Our 10th Annual Samaritans Walk for Hope was one for the books! And we've got the photos to prove it! 📸

On Saturday, our community showed up in a BIG way for a beautiful day of remembrance, connection, and hope. We celebrated record attendance and surpassed our fundraising goal, thanks to our generous sponsors, board members, donors, volunteers, staff, and incredible walkers who rallied their friends and families.

We were especially inspired by the 60+ High School Students from Andover Public Schools who joined us to walk and volunteer, including members of the Women's Soccer Program, KyleCares Club, and The Yellow Tulip Project Club.

But beyond the numbers, it was the moments that mattered most. The names we remembered. The conversations we shared. The reminder that no one has to face life's challenges alone.

To everyone who made our 10th anniversary unforgettable: THANK YOU!

Now, let's relive the day! See yourself or someone you know? Tag them!

As Hispanic Heritage Month comes to a close, we’re celebrating the voices of our Family Services team. We asked colleagues what they’re proud to carry from their culture into their work. Their reflections offer a glimpse of the values, experiences and connections that shape how we support our community.

Thank you to our colleagues for sharing!
