Holiday Helping Hands Donation Program
The Holiday Helping Hands Program is designed to enlist the aid of REALTORS and Business Partners to bring some “Holiday Cheer” to those families who may otherwise, without our help, have a less than happy holiday.
NCMAR REALTORS and Business Partners help by purchasing and wrapping gifts for those in need. These gifts go to the Northstar Family Services, Montachusett Veterans Outreach, Athol Council on Aging and Children’s Aid and Family Services.
