Partnering with Other Town Organizations

The Shirley Charitable Foundation has partnered with local organizations to leverage the power of combined efforts. In every town there are many organizations all marching to a mission with a group of dedicated volunteers. Many times their efforts are duplicated between organizations without realizing who is doing what. The idea of partnering with organizations under the umbrella of the Foundation's "Celebrate Shirley" allows minds to come together to host events in which multiple organizations can be involved leveraging everyone's membership base. Check our Celebrate Shirley calendar to follow what is happening in town and get involved to help out. Remember that every community is only as good as we all help to make it.

The Shirley Connection Social Services Website

The Shirley Charitable Foundation in partnership the Community Assistance Collaborative has secured a grant from the Community Foundation of North Central Massachusetts in collaboration with the Greater Lowell Community Foundation from the Nashoba Valley Health Care Fund. This grant will fund the development of a community website called the "Shirley Connection" containing a database of information for an array of health and human services with pertinent contacts. This centralized database of information will help individuals navigate through the complexity of obtaining needed services. The website is designed to direct people to appropriate sources for social services offered to residents of Shirley.
