FROM THE INCOMING CHAIR

When asked “So what is Maggie’s Place anyway?,” my usual response contains the words “houses of hospitality.” The more I think about those words, which accurately describe Maggie’s Place, the more I realize they do not tell the whole story. Maggie’s Place is more than houses; we are a home. And yes we provide hospitality, but more than that we show love. For these reasons, we have adopted the theme “Love lives here” for our Community Impact Report. I invite you to explore the pages that follow, and learn the many ways that you, through the hard work of Maggie’s Place’s staff and volunteers, are ensuring that love remains alive and present in our homes and programs. From the simplicity of a food bag or a bus pass to the careful counseling and support services of addiction recovery, love truly does live here. Along with the entire board of directors and with a humble heart, we offer sincere thanks for your ongoing and generous support. You are an important reason why we can continue to ensure that at Maggie’s Place, love lives here.

John Scola, Chair Board of Directors
