About this Event

Childhood in the Shadow of Poverty

The evening will feature a panel of local leaders who work directly with Salem children and will be moderated by Sue Gabriel, CEO of the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Salem.

· Charity Lezama, Executive Director, YMCA of the North Shore

· Agnes Misigah, Director of Housing, Centerboard, Inc.

The Samaritans partner with more than 50 social service organizations to support Salem residents facing a financial crisis. Operating continuously since 1832, the Samaritans is an all-volunteer organization and has no religious affiliation or association with suicide prevention. Without an office or paid staff, all funds raised go directly to assisting Salem neighbors in need.
