A community action agency is nothing without community. Congratulations to the 19 volunteers, community leaders, administrators, and elected officials who were honored at this year's Community Heroes Celebration. In them, we see our best selves and are inspired to keep showing up for those around us. A special thank you to Senator Ed Markey, Glenn Jones, Noel Gourdin, Rev. Dr. Wesley Roberts, Boston Marriott Copley Place Hotel, and all of our sponsors (including this year's Gold Sponsor Community Energy Services) for their support, generosity, and partnership. Cheers to everyone who attended the 2024 CHC. We can't wait to see you all next year!
