SOUTH SHORE COMMUNITY ACTION COUNCIL SURVEY

We are helping to spread the word on a community survey being conducted by the South Shore Community Action Council (SSCAC)! 

 

SSCAC fights poverty and works to improve the well-being of our neighbors. To make sure their programs are as helpful as they can be, they’d like to hear about the needs of people with low to moderate income who live in our community.

SSCAC would appreciate your time to complete this anonymous and confidential survey. If you submit your survey by February 28th, you will be entered in a raffle for $200 in grocery cards!

DID YOU MISS THE AUTHOR TALK?!?! No worries, we have you covered.

 

Watch the replay of the conversation with New York Times bestselling author Liz Moore as she discusses The God of the Woods, a gripping mystery of vanished children and long-held secrets.
