Mark Silverman, owner of Mark's Moving and Storage (far left), visited Welcome Home on a busy Wednesday morning. Clients picked up goods while Welcome Home co-founder Mindy Peckler and Room Manager Carol Kirson unloaded and sorted IKEA donations. We were so proud to share our work with Mark and driver, Pops (right). Thanks so much Mark, for your support of our work. | |
Welcome Home Supporters -
It's Fall - the most beautiful season in New England.
We have lots of exciting news to share, including our first official partnership - with Mark's Moving and Storage (see photo above). Thanks to the generosity of Mark Silverman, more and more home goods are coming our way, and that means more to share with our clients.
And did you see us on Channel 5 WCVB's Chronicle? If you missed the show, watch it here.
Warmly,
Julie Plaut Mahoney and Mindy Peckler, co-founders
and The Welcome Home Team
