A Message From Our Executive Director

Dear Nashua Center Community,


As we look back on the summer months, I’m reminded of how much happens at Nashua Center every day. From outings in the community and learning new skills to celebrating personal milestones and spending time with friends, it’s these experiences, both big and small, that make a meaningful difference in the lives of the individuals we serve.


This summer brought plenty of opportunities to connect, explore, and celebrate. Our adult programs enjoyed everything from beach outings and blueberry picking to volunteering in the community, while our Children’s Pyramid team continued its important work supporting young children and families. We also had the pleasure of recognizing our dedicated Direct Support Professionals and celebrating a special honor for our Children’s Pyramid program, which received the Partner Agency of the Year Compass Award from Community Crossroads.


Beyond our programs, we’ve continued to see the generosity of our community in action. From the CBIZ Cares volunteers who spent a day helping with projects around our facilities to the many businesses, donors, and community partners who support our mission, we’re grateful for the relationships that make so much of our work possible.


As we move into fall, I’ve been thinking about a simple question: What does Nashua Center mean to you? For the individuals we serve, it might mean friendship, independence, or the pride that comes with accomplishing something new. For families, it may mean knowing their loved one is supported and encouraged. And for our staff, volunteers, and community partners, it may mean being part of something that makes a difference every day.



As we share this question with our community in the months ahead, I hope you’ll take a moment to reflect on what Nashua Center means to you. Thank you for being part of our story and for the many ways you help make these meaningful moments possible.


Warmly,

Emily

Emily K. Manire
