As another year comes to a close, I would like to tell you about the many things the Social Service League is doing today to help the members of our community who need it most and are least served.
The cornerstone of our work is the Cohasset Consignment Shop. It is both one of our funding sources, as well as, a wonderful extension of our mission providing the opportunity for our community to purchase gently worn or used clothing, home goods and furniture.
While at the same time fulfilling a very necessary and useful outlet for those who are downsizing or dismantling a family homestead. A couple of dedicated and loyal paid staff along with a group of hard working and loyal volunteers runs the shop. We have continued to work with Elder Services, Wellspring, sponsor parenting programs, and provide our annual healthcare scholarships.
As we look toward our 95th year we have undertaken a needs assessment campaign to further identify the most important and least served issues in the every community which we serve; Cohasset, Hull, Scituate and Marshfield.
We are meeting with key members from schools, law enforcement and the clergy in hopes of getting their perspective on what community needs are currently not being met. Our goal is to expand our reach and better serve the needs of our community. Please know that we can fulfill these needs only with your generous and continued support.
We need your help.
