Founders

The mission of the Sisters of Charity of Montreal, also known as the "Grey Nuns," is to seek out ministries with particular emphasis on elder care and offer assistance to those especially in need.  Their mission is in line with the tradition of service and the spirit of their foundress, St. Marguerite d'Youville, known as the Mother of Universal Charity.  The Sisters have assisted in establishing "Neighbors Who Care," an inter-faith program that will provide a service to the most vulunerable.

It is a pleasure to introduce our new Leadership at Neighbors Who Care. Martha Ryan is our new Director. She has a strong background in both management and direct service to seniors. Martha will be the friendly voice you hear on the phone when you call our office. She will coordinate appointments as well as train new volunteers and welcome new clients. Behind the scenes, Martha will be using her extensive experience in office management to keep the ship sailing straight and to work with the Board on growing Neighbors Who Care. Heather Aveson, our Community Liaison, joined us in September and has been acting as a Jack of all Trades during our transition. She brings a wealth of experience in marketing and Community Relations to Neighbors Who Care. Heather will focus her energies on working in the community to raise awareness about our program, recruit volunteers and clients and find new funding sources for Neighbors Who Care.

Thank you to everyone who made the ACappella brunch a great success.

More than 100 friends and supporters of Neighbors Who Care recently enjoyed a musical Sunday morning brunch fundraiser at the Chateau Restaurant. This year, the annual event offered a heaping serving of melodic  doo wop to accompany breakfast as Northshore Acappella serenaded guests with harmonies from the Great American Songbook. The event also featured more than fifteen raffle items that ranged from Red Sox Tickets to Wine Baskets. Proceeds from the event support the mission of Neighbors Who Care
