A Tradition of Neighbor Helping Neighbor

The 2023-24 campaign raised enough to award $83,459 to 16 local nonprofit organizations such as the Stow Food Pantry, Minuteman Senior Services, Domestic Violence Services Network and Minute Man Arc. These organizations provide a wide variety of services benefitting our youngest to oldest residents. Besides are annual grants the SCC gives money to one time special projects that benefit Stow residents, such as purchasing secure enclosures to store NARCAN, a medication used to reverse opioid overdose to help the Stow Police Department place this lifesaving tool in 8 public locations around town.. The SCC is committed to providing funding to groups the current needs facing Stow residents to make our whole town a better place for all our neighbors
