Save Our Children has saviors of its own

Letter to the Editor

To the Editor:

Save Our Children would like to thank the many people who worked together to find us a new home.
Save Our Children was homeless for a while, and with the high cost of rent, we could not find a home to service our clients without taking away from their needs. However, we were fortunate enough to have our problem solved by people who truly care about their community and the children living in it.

With the help of state Sen. Fred Berry and his chief of staff, Vic DiGravio, we were able to locate an office that not only was perfect, but in a great location. Behind the scenes, they worked with Salem State College and received approval from President Harrington, Dr. Cahill and Bruce Perry of Salem State. With everyone coming together to help the children, we were able to provide toys to over 450 children this holiday season. The new location will now provide for over 125 children per week — our children's food pantry.

We appreciate everyone's help immensely. Words can not express what we feel or what they did for Save Our Children and the children of the community. Sen. Berry, his office and Salem State all came together and helped us more than we could have wished for.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Cathy Meehan, director
