The
Good Neighbor Fund continues to spread hope within our Community! This
fund, originally started over 17 years ago, assists people in need
regardless of religious affiliation. Since its inception, the fund has
been used for expenses such as rent, utilities and heating for
recipients of Marshfield and the surrounding South Shore towns.
With
the need for assistance on the rise, our fundraising efforts are
crucial! Our assistance to those in need depends on donations to our
fund ~ 98% of all funds raised by the volunteers running the Good
Neighbor Fund goes directly back to those asking for help- we have no
overhead and keep no profits.
Two ways to Support the Good Neighbor Fund ~
Donate outright or purchase Gift Cards from our representatives!
Please donate today by forwarding your tax deductible donation, made payable to the
Good Neighbor Fund to 1981 Ocean Street, Box 826, Marshfield, MA 02050;

Children's Sunday School!
Registration

sessions including singing and dancing, stations for Bible Study,
games, crafts and missions! Our mission this year will be
donating our weekly offerings toward supporting the translation of the
bible into a foreign language that has yet to be completed! For
every $26.00 we raise, it is matched by an anonymous donor to have one
verse of the bible translated! Come join us in Keepin' in Step
