Hopkinton resident: Dear Project Just Because, we can't begin to express our gratitude with all the love and support you've so eagerly given. We appreciate your time and never ending efforts. We are very blessed... [Name withheld]

I would like to say thank you so much for all that you and the “Dream Team” have done for Medway House and the families that reside here. As a member of a local community, it is nice to know that there is someone as special as you around to provide a place for people in need to receive assistance. You may have started as a woman with a basement, but now you are so much more than that. You’re the crossing guard on a busy street…the biggest present under the Christmas tree…an angel sent from heaven.

[Name withheld] and the kids are thrilled with all of their new goodies. [Name withheld] didn’t even get in the door before he was playing with his new trucks. Things are starting to fall into place for this family and I just wanted to let you know that you were a part of helping that to happen. [Name Withheld] said, “God blessed me today”. I know you don’t do what you do because you want ot be thanked but from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much.

Sincerely,
Stasi Parchesky, Family Advocate, Medway House Family Shelter

Roses are red,
Violets are blue
I'll put those Christmas gifts under the bed
Until Christmas is due,
I'll say they're from Santa,
They'll say "No they're not! They're from you!"
And you know what I'll say? It's from a very special someone that shared a piece of their heart, a very special place in their heart that was there just for special you! I love you.

Thank you so much for the assistance you’ve given to our clients. We have heard back from them and they are very happy with the clothing they’ve received from you. You can’t imagine how much this means to us.

During the last couple of years, trying to gather enough for the Transitional families has been a challenge. Marge Caldwell has been the backbone of the Red Roof Committee. She gathered and stored most of the clothing and shopped for sneakers when needed. She’s also in charge of the Hot Meals Program for the Red Roof Clients. She too is elated with your assistance.

We receive sample clothing occasionally and would love to share with “Just Because”. You’re doing a great job.

The Southborough Food Pantry exists to help our friends and neighbors when times are tough. Thanks to the thoughtfulness of groups such as yours we are able to make life a little easier for them. We are grateful to you for taking the time to help others.

God Bless You.

Sincerely
Barbara Jandrue, Director, United Parishes of Southborough

Thank you so much for the wonderful Easter baskets and goodies. The gift certificates came in the nick of time. They were awesome – very much appreciated. It made for a wonderful Easter. We hope all of you had a great holiday. God Bless!

On Behalf of the residents at Crossroads Family Shelter, I would like to extend my warmest thanks for making this Holiday Season a very special one. Your generous gifts were greatly appreciated by our families, and helped bring much joy to them this Holiday Season.

Thanks so much for everything to you and your generous volunteers! The gifts are amazing and perfect. Just unbelievable – the kids and I will have such a super merry holiday! I am still in disbelief. Thanks again so very much. Happy, happy holidays to you and your family.

I would be remiss if I didn’t let you know how appreciative I am of your generous nature and spirit.

You are so thoughtful and your kindness is unequaled!

We are most grateful for all you did for our Pantry families during the holiday season.

I hope to talk to you soon, please let me know if you need something.

Warmest,
Sylvia, The Holliston Pantry Shelf
