Marci’s Initiative

Our residents need your support!

Marci’s Initiative supports special appeals for the Healthy Resident Program in response to resident needs. This may include gift cards for food or clothing, bottled water or fans during a heatwave, help with transportation, or other situations that can help the health and well-being of a resident. This funding allows the Caritas support staff to be nimble and responsive in addressing critical needs.

Yes! Please reach out to Vernell Clouden-Duval at 781-843-1242 ext. 33 or vcloudenduval@caritascommunities.org for account information and instructions.

Can I make a gift of securities?

No. We are currently unable to accept gifts of securities but hope to add this option in the near future.

How do I make a planned gift?

You can leave an impactful legacy by remembering Caritas Communities in your estate planning. Find more information on planned giving here.

What about employer matching gifts?

You can double the impact of your donation!
Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match any charitable contributions or volunteer hours made by their employees, retirees, or employees’ spouses. Request a matching gift form from your employer, and send it to us with your gift. We will do the rest.
