This generous contribution of $100,000 will support the construction of Worcester’s first-ever rooftop greenhouse atop our new rental housing project at 126 Chandler Street.

Seems we can all agree that ending 2020 will be uplifting on many levels. The racial injustice that occurred was unconscionable, the ongoing COVID -19 pandemic continues to leave us with constant concern, and the political nature of our country has divided us. This does not fare well for our neighborhoods here in Worcester or in the United States at large. Let us hope that 2021 will build a democratic approach whereby these obstructions in our lives end and we begin bit by bit to rebuild. We need to mend the divide and be kind to each other.

Massachusetts Association of CDCs (MACDC) Annual Meeting looked a little different than in past years, but we were thrilled to participate and celebrate the accomplishments of our fellow CDCs across the Commonwealth in a virtual setting.
