Dear friends,
In our region, a single parent with two children needs to earn a staggering $129,688 annually to cover their family’s living costs¹ – a 65% increase from the amount needed just three years ago.
But for many Cape Ann residents, wages have not kept pace with rising inflation and housing costs – and this six-figure salary is a far-off dream.
This is where Action Inc. steps in. Thanks to your past support, we have provided families and individuals across Cape Ann and beyond with education, job training, housing assistance, and other vital services that have empowered people to overcome adversity and create positive change in their lives. Our services help individuals and families facing daily challenges, struggling to make ends meet, and yearning for a better future.
As we approach the new year, we know there is still more work to be done. Poverty continues to impact thousands of residents across Cape Ann. We need your help to continue our programs and services, ensuring that individuals and families have the resources and opportunities they need to thrive.
Your donation, no matter the size, will make a difference. It will provide a lifeline for our neighbors in need, offering them the chance to build a brighter future. Your support is an investment in the well-being of our community and a testament to your compassion and commitment to positive change.
Your generosity has the power to bring hope to those who need it most. We are grateful for your support, and we look forward to continuing this important work together.
With warmest regards,
Peggy Hegarty-Steck, CEO
