HOW IT WORKS
 

Between now and Dec. 31st, The Patriot Ledger will bring you stories about South Shore people in need this holiday season.

The money you give will be used to help meet the needs of the people we write about and of many other of our neighbors who are struggling this holiday season. The Lend a Hand fund will share your donations among long-established and wide-reaching community service agencies.

Individuals and families whose stories you read have been chosen by the agencies as representatives of their hundreds of clients who live, work and attend school on the South Shore.

You can make a Lend a Hand donation online, or with the Lend a Hand coupon provided below for you to print out and send in with your donation those in need this holiday season.

Administrative costs for the fund are absorbed by The Patriot Ledger and the agencies, which means 100% of the money raised benefits needy people in our city and towns. 

Lend a Hand accepts monetary donations only.

We will publish the names of all contributors and the amount of their donations as an acknowledgment of their gifts. You may also make donations anonymously, or in memory of a loved one.

If you have any questions about Lend a Hand, please call The Patriot Ledger at 617-786-7022.
