Natick Service Council week - June 9 - 15, 2013

The Natick Board of Selectmen recently recognized the worthwhile work of NSC and proclaimed June 9-15, 2013 - Natick Service Council Week!

The proclamation states, "NSC has provided needs unfulfilled by any other source to citizens of all ages and has coordinated the efforts of volunteers, organizations, and town agencies that throughout the year are called upon to assist in meeting a variety of family and individual emergencies..."

NSC receives no local, state, or Federal government aid.  Instead, we rely on and are sincerely grateful for the generous support of the Natick community as we continue our Neighbors Helping Neighbors mission!

Just another example why Natick is the Home of Champions!

$50,000 Grant from Metrowest Health Foundation

Natick, Mass:  December 7, 2012 – The Natick Service Council (NSC), a 50-year non-profit human services organization is pleased to announce the receipt of a $50,000 grant award from MetroWest Health Foundation.  The grant supports the planned launch of NSC’s Heart Healthy Food Pantry (HHFP), a program designed to significantly increase the amount of “heart healthy” foods distributed to clients through NSC’s Vi Tutuny Food Pantry.

The grant will help NSC identify and distribute heart healthy foods to NSC clients while seeking to reduce three key risk factors contributing to chronic heart disease:  high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and excessive weight.  Over a two year period, the HHFP program will considerably increase the percentage of heart healthy foods distributed to NSC clients.  NSC plans to model the HHFP program and hopes to replicate it among other regional and national food pantries.
