Who We Help:
• Once again we made a significant contribution to the St. Andrew’s Food Cupboard in Rochester, New York (Gretchen’s home town).
• We have recently made a contribution to the Dedham Community House. DCH runs a summer camp in Dedham, Massachusetts, and our contribution will provide scholarships for two underprivileged children to attend camp for the entire summer!
• On the anniversary of Gretchen’s passing, we again made a contribution to the Our Lady of Lourdes Choir in Atlanta, Georgia. The choir gave Gretchen a lot of joy and comfort. They have been extremely appreciative of our support.
• Our most ambitious project is currently in the works. Gretchen’s niece, Rebecca Stephan, spent a “semester abroad” in the Dominican Republic and through her learning, became familiar with an orphanage in Santiago that is the home to 50+ remarkably disadvantaged children. After discussing the conditions and needs with Rebecca, we decided this would be a terrific opportunity to make a difference. We are in the process of sending basic toys, books, and blankets to them.
• This summer we will again be holding a book drive to support ReadBoston. The ReadBoston Book Bank provides community centers, afterschool programs and other childcare providers with new and gently-used books in order to create new libraries or supplement their existing libraries. If you are coming to our BBQ on July 17th and have books to donate, we will gladly take them!
