L’Arche Boston North’s Culinary Program and its future L’Arche Café recently received a boost from a $25,000 matching gift from Haverhill Bank.
The match supported a year-end fundraising campaign and supports vocational training and inclusive leadership opportunities for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
“We are profoundly grateful to Haverhill Bank for once again stepping forward as our Matching Gift Partner,” says L’Arche Boston North’s Executive Director and Community Leader Lynette McRae. “Their generous $25,000 matching gift is a powerful endorsement of our mission and inspires our entire community to deepen the impact of their giving. We are grateful to all of our supporters who joined us in meeting Haverhill Bank’s matching gift challenge, maximizing this extraordinary opportunity to amplify hope and inclusion for our community.”
Officials said, L’Arche Boston North’s Culinary Program addresses a growing need in the Merrimack Valley for inclusive, skill-building programs and meaningful vocational opportunities for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. As participation has grown, so have the program’s space, equipment and staffing requirements.
L’Arche Boston North is preparing to open a training café in the former A-1 Deli, 92 Merrimack St., in downtown Haverhill.
