A big thank you to Gloucester Meetinghouse Foundation for choosing Lifebridge's Grace Center as the beneficiary of one of their "Music on the Meetinghouse Green" concerts. The free concert series encourages donations to a different non-profit. This year's concert starring "What Time Is It, Mr. Fox?" raised nearly $2,000 in cash, check, and online donations to Grace Center. Thank you all!

🎉 What an AMAZING End-of-Year BBQ! 🎉

Our annual BBQ is one of our favorite traditions because it brings our entire community together and gives us a chance to celebrate the clients we are so honored to serve. ❤️

The work we do can be heavy, which makes days like this so meaningful. Watching our clients laugh, share a meal, dance, and connect with staff, leadership, and one another is a beautiful reminder that community is at the heart of everything we do.

A huge shoutout to our Kitchen Manager Sallena for her first year running our food program and our annual BBQ — everything was delicious! 👏

Thank you to our incredible team for showing up every day with compassion, kindness, and a commitment to our mission.
Most of all, thank you to our clients for sharing this day with us and allowing us to be part of your community.
Here’s to our clients, our community, and the people who make this work so meaningful. ❤️

Clients at our Salem campus donned safety vests, trash bags, and litter pickers for a community clean up event this month. Together, they spent the day making the neighborhood a little more beautiful and enjoyed a pizza party afterward. 🌞 🌳 🗑️

Musicians Audi and Peter Souza dazzled at Lifebridge's Grace Center in Gloucester last week with a concert of sea shanties. The event was organized by Tina and Bob Maeder. Rep. Dru Tarr, Nora Casadei from Beauport Hospitality Group, and Art of Lunch organizer Nina Goodick cooked and served a dinner sponsored by the Art of Lunch, Cape Ann Museum, and Together Gloucester, Inc. Clients and guests enjoyed baked haddock, a garden salad, and cookies while listening to the music.

We love being in a community with such a rich fishing history, and it was a joy for it to be brought to life in such a memorable way. You can listen to Audi and Peter's music here: https://buff.ly/EtAYtff

Thank you to the students of Malden Catholic School for stopping by River House! They participated during daily chore time and then played bingo with the clients. We love seeing young people involved in their community!

River House is the North Shore's only women's shelter, giving women experiencing homelessness the chance to heal, connect, and find stability.
