A SPECIAL YEAR

The Mission of Deeds received a $10,000 donation from the Massachusetts Bankers Association Charitable Foundation. Our organization was one of 16 agencies to receive a donation, according to A. James Lavoie, chairman of the MBA Charitable Foundation and CEO of Middlesex Savings Bank.

Carolyn Hollis, Mission of Deeds President, thanked the association for its generosity and noted that the donation will help us to provide people with a chance at a new and better life. “We help people who often have no place to else to go for help,” Hollis said. “The money we received from the association will be used to make a difference in the lives of people who have been abandoned by their families or have lost their belongings due to a tragedy that no one should ever have to experience.”

WINNING HOME

A $10,000 donation was presented to the Mission of Deeds by Winning Home, Inc., in support of our organization’s “hard work and dedication to helping families who need assistance.”

In presenting the donation, Albert "Chip" Curran, Jr., director of Winning Home, said "It is especially fitting that we, as a charitable trust, are responsive to the needs of children while being true to our mission. The Mission of Deeds is working on the front lines each day to make a difference in people's lives. We are pleased to support them in their efforts to help people in need.”

The Mission of Deeds was one of seven organizations selected to receive a donation from Winning Home, which is based in Woburn, Massachusetts.

“We were so grateful to receive Winning Home’s generous donation,” said Art Triglione, Mission of Deeds Treasurer. “The donation came to us at a very important time as we try to help an ever-increasing number of people who are in desperate need of assistance.
