GOAL ACHIEVED!!
Thermometer last updated: 5/2/2024
A Tradition of Neighbor Helping Neighbor
The 2023-24 campaign raised $102,374 to support local nonprofit organizations such as the Stow Food Pantry, Minuteman Senior Services, and Randall Library. These organizations provide a wide variety of services benefitting our youngest to oldest residents. In addition, in 2020, we established the Stow COVID-19 Relief Fund which raised more than $40,000 for our agencies experiencing increased needs due to the pandemic. Most recently, the SCC worked with the Stow Police Department to purchase secure enclosures to store NARCAN, a medication used to reverse opioid overdose. The enclosures will be used at 8 public locations around town where NARCAN is stored. The SCC is committed to identifying the current needs, issues, and problems facing Stow residents in order to most effectively direct funding.
