Much of the gift is designated for fuel assistance, a portion will be used to help the Community Garden continue to grow. But even beyond that, the Higgins Beach Association’s concern for the community is a priceless gift indeed. We would also like to thank the HBA board and volunteers who worked so hard on hosting this fun event. Thank you, all.
The Higgins Beach Association recently held its annual welcome back' supper for its members, a time to catch up on what's been happening here and away. The event included a silent auction for which members of the neighborhood association collected great prizes from local artists and businesses. We are grateful to all who donated items. With good-natured and spirited bidding, members of the HBA raised a very generous donation of $2,000 for Project GRACE.

Project GRACE and Scarborough School Nutrition Program Collaborate to Feed Hungry School Children
Project GRACE tries to improve the lives of our neighbors by identifying both those in need and those willing to share their gifts, and coordinating the interchange in a compassionate, confidential manner. In that spirit, at a recent school board meeting, Project GRACE awarded Scarborough schools a $2,500 grant for the current school year. The School Nutrition program has been receiving funding from Project GRACE for the past few years. The long-standing partnership helps students get the daily nutrition required for achieving success at school. School staff notice when kids come to school hungry, they see when a child simply does not get enough nutritious meals at home. The Project GRACE grant extends the reach of the school nutrition program by paying for milk and snacks, breakfasts and lunches, and second helpings, for students whose families are struggling to make ends meet. We are very grateful to the Sibley-Saltonstall Foundation. |
