The Holiday Helper program was a huge success! Community members joined with staff from the Donaghue and Sweetsir School to help over 30 families. Local organizations, such as the Merrimac Garden Club, Merrimac PTO and many others, gave monetary donations to purchase warm clothing and toys. Throughout the past year, Lion Club Members raised funds to provide each family a turkey dinner. They partnered with the West Newbury Food Mart to provide the food baskets below. Students also brought in mittens, hats and food donations.
A special thank you to Kathy Devaney, Judy Kroner, Kathy Sullivan
and the many other Holiday Helper organizers.
