🌞 Big News for GROW Associates! 🌞

We’re proud to share that Grow Associates, Inc. has been awarded a $500,000 solar grant through the Healey-Driscoll Administration’s Low-Income Services Solar Program (LISSP).

This investment will fund the installation of a 161.8 kW rooftop solar system, reducing our electricity costs by up to 100% and generating significant annual savings. Most importantly, those savings will be reinvested directly into programs that support adults with developmental disabilities—strengthening services, expanding opportunities, and enhancing daily experiences.

“Each day, I witness the dedication, patience, and heart our team brings to our participants. Every achievement—whether learning a new skill, building confidence, engaging in the community, or taking steps toward greater independence—is a direct reflection of their work. This investment allows us to continue that progress and further strengthen the opportunities we provide,”
— Sarah Palin, Executive Director, GROW Associates

As we continue our Winter Annual Appeal, this grant serves as a powerful reminder that every dollar saved or raised helps advance our mission and ensures long-term sustainability for the individuals we serve.

We are deeply grateful to the Healey-Driscoll Administration and the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources for investing in organizations that serve their communities while promoting clean energy and sustainability.

Today we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., whose vision of equality, inclusion, and justice continues to inspire our work every day.

In observance of MLK Day, Grow Associates, Inc. is closed as we reflect on his message and our shared responsibility to build a more inclusive and compassionate community.

“We may have all come on different ships, but we’re in the same boat now.” — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

💙 We’re Making Progress And We’re Grateful 💙

Thanks to the generosity of our community, we’ve raised $11,205 toward our $25,000 goal for the Grow Associates, Inc. Annual Appeal, and we’re already seeing the impact of that support across our programs.

Because of the many programs offered, individuals are gaining real-world skills, building confidence, and stepping into meaningful roles in the community.

GROW Supported Employment program offers individuals the opportunity to find and maintain meaningful and competitive employment. Recently, seven of our participants completed training with the Salvation Army and worked throughout the holiday season as Kettle Bell Ringers, collecting donations at locations across the South Shore.

In addition, several participants proudly earned their Certificate of Completion for the Awareness & Action Training Course through the Massachusetts Advocates Standing Strong Organization, an important milestone in self-advocacy, awareness, and personal empowerment.

These successes are just a snapshot of how contributions to our Annual Appeal support opportunities that help individuals grow, try new experiences, and continue building confidence every day.

As the Appeal continues through February, we invite those who are still considering a gift to help us close the gap and sustain these impactful programs.
