Please support
THE NEW ENGLAND CENTER AND HOME FOR VETERANS
and THE 5th ANNUAL WINTER WALK
to raise awareness and funds toward ending homelessness in Greater Boston!
Rotarians have traditionally supported the
New England Center and Home for Veterans (NECHV) with our volunteerism but unfortunately, COVID-19
has restricted our efforts in many ways. This year,
the NECHV has been invited to participate in
Boston's annual Winter Walk, which is a 2 mile walk
in the city that raises funds and awareness to help
end homelessness in the area.
NECHV needs our Rotary help!
If the New England Center and Home for Veterans successfully raises $10,000, Winter Walk will match that up to $20,000! Please help support the NECHV and Winter Walk by making a donation through the Rotary team page with through the link below. The process is fast, easy and secure. Thank you for your support!

MYTHS VS. FACTS
Introducing Winchester Together,
a community based initiative of
coordinated events and acts of kindness
WINCHESTER TOGETHER
is a community based initiative of coordinated events and acts of kindness that offers hope and positivity to all generations of Winchester residents and our local essential workers. The goal of Winchester Together is to coordinate a series of events and acts of kindness to address the isolation and pandemic fatigue that many residents of Winchester are now experiencing. We act as a communication hub for residents and wish to promote safe activities that all generations of Winchester residents can find purpose in and enjoy.
Winchester Together is made possible by all of the Winchester organizations, businesses and people of action engaging in this coordinated campaign. We are grateful for all they do for our community.
