What an amazing day at our ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new Veterans Transitional Home at 147 East Merrimack Street. 💙

Thank you to everyone who came out to support us — your presence meant the world to our team, our community, and especially the veterans who will soon call this place home.

A huge thank-you to all the organizations and individuals who donated and made this vision a reality — we truly couldn’t have done it without you.

We also want to shout out our culinary training class, who graduated that very same day and cooked all the incredible food and hors d'oeuvres for the event. You guys crushed it!

Special thanks to Mayor Dan Rourke, City Councilor Rita Mercier, Secretary Santiago, State Representative Rodney Elliott, State Representative Vanna Howard, City Councilor Paul Ratha Yem, and so many others who showed up and stood with us.

This home is more than a building — it’s a second chance. And thanks to all of you, it’s now a reality. 🏠🇺🇸

Last Thursday, we had the honor of welcoming representatives from MassHire and the U.S. Department of Labor to The Bridge Club of Greater Lowell — and our Culinary Arts students absolutely stole the show!

Two of our participants prepared and served an incredible spread of hors d’oeuvres that left everyone raving. From beautifully plated deviled eggs to asparagus-topped crostini, every dish was made with skill, pride, and professionalism.

We’re so proud of our students for showing what talent, hard work, and opportunity look like. A huge thank you to our guests from MassHire and DOL for visiting and for supporting workforce development programs like ours!

Last week we had the pleasure of welcoming Ester from Commonwealth Corporation for a site visit to The Bridge Club of Greater Lowell!

We are incredibly grateful for the ongoing support and partnership of Commonwealth Corporation, whose work allows us to continue expanding opportunities for returning citizens, veterans, and individuals in recovery. Together, we are breaking barriers and building pathways to meaningful employment, housing, and long-term stability for those we serve.

A huge thank you to Ester and the entire CommCorp team for believing in our mission and for everything you do to support organizations like ours across the Commonwealth. 💛
