#GIVING TUESDAY: MYSTIC LEARNING CENTER & COMMUNITY ACTION AGENCY OF SOMERVILLE

Mystic Learning Center

Meet this week’s featured organization, the Mystic Learning Center (MLC). The mission of MLC is to improve the lives of low-income children and families who live at the Mystic Public Housing Development and surrounding communities.  MLC offers year round educational and recreational activities for youth ages 5 to 19 during after-school, evenings, school-year and summer vacations.

Every dollar donated to MLC through the GivingTuesday program will be used for after-school, school vacation and summer vacation slots for children between the ages of 5 and 12. The cost for one child after-school slot is $18.22 a day, and the cost for one child for a full day of vacation/summer camp is $34.00. In other words, your donation goes a long way! Give today.

Meet the fabulous Community Action Agency of Somerville (CAAS)

For 34 years CAAS has helped reduce poverty among local families and individuals while also working to change the societal conditions that cause and perpetuate poverty. They assist families and individuals in escaping poverty and becoming economically self-sufficient. They also serve as an an “emergency room” for every non-medical need an individual or family may have: housing, food, heat, education. CAAS is also a switchboard for referrals to other agencies that can help people and the center of coalitions that make a stronger Somerville.

In addition to serving individuals and families, CAAS runs the Head Start program in Somerville and Cambridge. Your GivingTuesday gift supports CAAS.
