The Gloucester Fund Inc - Supporting Families in Need
Community Support
We supported civic engagement through a local program service accomplishment that secured the historic home of Gloucester sculptor Paul Manship for an artist residency program and cultural center. Additionally, we provided community assistance by installing solar lighting and supporting ongoing maintenance at the Gloucester dog park, restoring the city's bronze memorial plaques, and advocating for environmental initiatives in the Wheeler's Point neighborhood, all facilitated by the Gloucester Fund.
Emergency Assistance
We offer emergency support to families in crisis, including community assistance for a city resident who was severely injured in an accident. The Gloucester Fund provided cash assistance to victims of the fire, demonstrating our commitment to civic engagement and cultural programs that uplift our community.
Community Support Groups
In recent years, we have actively promoted civic engagement through various city-wide cultural programs and community assistance initiatives. These events include concerts, July 4th and Labor Day fireworks displays, the Fishtown Horribles Parade, a kids' Halloween festival, a holiday historic area walk, and the Santa Parade. Additionally, we have provided scholarships to local high school students, reinforcing our commitment to community support.
We also extend our community assistance to deployed troops by sending care packages and letters from home, along with efforts to restore war memorials throughout the city. Moreover, we supported a World War II veterans photography project and various Eagle Scout projects, showcasing our dedication to honoring those who served. All these efforts are part of the Gloucester Fund, aimed at enhancing the quality of life in our community.
