🎒 We’re Still Collecting School Supplies! 📚

There’s still time to help us support local students this week! Potter Place has been collecting school supply donations to benefit the Waltham Partnership for Youth.

We’ll be collecting donations through the end of this week, so if you have any new or extra school supplies to donate, we’d love your support! Notebooks, backpacks, pencils, folders, and other school essentials can make a big difference for students getting ready for the new school year.

Thank you to everyone who has donated so far and for helping us support students and families in our community! 💙

🌈 Happy Pride from all of us at The Edinburg Center! 🌈

Throughout June, we were proud to celebrate Pride Month with our community at both the Bedford Pride Celebration and the inaugural Lexington Pride Fair.

It was wonderful connecting with so many people, sharing information about our services, and celebrating the strength, diversity, and resilience of the LGBTQ+ community. One of the highlights of our booth was our interactive de-stressing activity, where participants created scented sachets while learning simple grounding and mindfulness techniques to support mental wellness.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello, create a sachet, and celebrate with us. We are honored to stand alongside our community in promoting inclusion, acceptance, belonging, and mental health for all.

Together, we're building stronger, more inclusive communities where everyone can thrive. 💙

🌈 Happy Pride!
