💚 This year, our St. Patrick’s Breakfast is especially meaningful as we come together to honor Jay Linnehan, a true champion of Greater Lowell and someone whose impact on our community is hard to put into words.

For decades, Jay has been a steady force behind the scenes, uplifting nonprofits, strengthening local initiatives, and ensuring that the people and organizations doing the hardest work in our region have the resources they need to succeed. Through his leadership at the Greater Lowell Community Foundation, Jay has helped expand access to scholarships, build long-term community investments, and support countless local nonprofits committed to housing, recovery, education, food security, and public health.

Jay’s legacy is one of compassion, action, and unwavering commitment to others. He has never sought recognition, but he has consistently shown up for the people of this community, advocating for those who are often overlooked and helping organizations grow into stronger, more sustainable supports for the individuals they serve.

We are proud to celebrate Jay, and we are grateful for the work he has done to make Greater Lowell a better place for everyone.

All proceeds from this event will benefit The Bridge Club of Greater Lowell, continuing the mission Jay has always stood behind: supporting individuals in recovery, with real pathways toward stability, recovery, and opportunity.

Join us in honoring Jay’s incredible legacy. 🍀💚

Our 10th Annual Substance Abuse Prevention Fundraiser was a success thanks to our incredible customers, and donors who contributed to our cause.  This annual fundraiser means a great deal to me because the money is raised in memory of my brother who lost his life in 2012 . We raised over $5,000 to Donate to The Bridge Club of Greater Lowell. If you don’t know anything about this organization, I suggest you look them up. They have a great mission and are doing wonderful things to help this cause .
Thank you Bob Cox for all that you do.
Merry Christmas everyone!
