Community Services/Non-Profits near North Billerica, MA

“Returning to Billerica brought them immense joy. There is nothing more pristine or light than this. Also, the pricing are just ridiculous; there's never a letdown! The locals are warm and humorous. You can find almost whatever you're searching for and more at this store. The best part is that many of the items are brand new and given by businesses that are taking advantage of the tax write-off and passing the savings on to us. They also have new cabinets if you need those. With each passing day, I discover something new, and that includes the kitchen sink. Along with that, I learned that 100% of the proceeds benefit the local community. You won't find a better secondhand store than this one.”

“Active volunteer: so far this volunteer job/work gets me out of my usual days of just doing nothing all day besides walking around Acton. I was surprised to attend the job training and saw how much it changed since my part time volunteering back in ABRHS “ODP” and I am happy to serve my community and the surrounding communities. I can thank my police officer friend who came out and got me the information for volunteering. If I had to do 100 Stars then I would do it.”

“With the climate of the current market, I have been very discouraged to move forward in my process for purchasing a home. NACA has given me a chance and hope to purchase my first home!”

“I recently had the pleasure of visiting Brides Across America in Andover, MA, and I must say that my experience was absolutely exceptional. From the moment I walked through the doors, Patricia and Terry made me feel like a valued customer, deserving of the utmost care and attention. I am delighted to give this salon a glowing five-star review.
As a bride marrying a Marine Corps fiancé, I was fortunate enough to take advantage of their offer for a free wedding dress. Initially, I was nervous that because I was receiving my dress for free, I might not be able to enjoy the same fairy tale experience as those who purchased their dresses. However, all my concerns were quickly alleviated the moment I stepped into the salon.
Despite this incredible opportunity, the staff at Brides Across America went above and beyond to ensure that I had a truly special experience. They treated me with the same level of professionalism and warmth as any other customer. Their genuine commitment to making every bride feel like a princess on her wedding day is truly remarkable.
One aspect that impressed me greatly was the personalized service I received. They carefully selected dresses in my size and took the time to understand my preferences. I was given the freedom to try on any dresses that caught my eye. Patricia, in particular, was by my side throughout the entire process. She expertly assisted me in removing and putting on the dresses and made sure they fit perfectly by using clips where necessary.
The moment I found my perfect wedding dress, the team at Brides Across America celebrated with me by offering a delightful glass of champagne. It was a small but meaningful gesture that made me feel like the center of attention.
The salon itself is an absolute beauty. The lounge couches provided a comfortable space for me and my party to relax and enjoy the experience. The dressing room was dedicated solely to me, allowing for privacy and an intimate atmosphere. The mirrors were beautifully adorned, enhancing the overall ambiance of the salon. Additionally, they had a selection of shoes available to try on with the dress in case I had forgotten my own heels.
Overall, my experience at Brides Across America was nothing short of wonderful. Patricia and Terry, along with their dedicated team, truly understand how to make a bride feel special and cherished. They exceeded my expectations and proved that their commitment to creating a magical experience goes beyond financial considerations.
I highly recommend Brides Across America to any bride-to-be in search of their dream wedding dress. It's a place where you'll be treated with the utmost care and given the opportunity to find the dress that makes you feel truly magical. Thank you, Patricia, Terry, and the entire team, for making my experience unforgettable, regardless of the fact that I received my dress for free. Your dedication and passion for creating a fairy tale experience are truly admirable.”

“Bread and Roses Food Pantry in Lawrence, MA is a wonderful support for the community. This vital organization tirelessly works to alleviate hunger and provide assistance to those in need. I have seen first hand as I have volunteered, my time there before how their model of no questions asked is met. Everyone in need who steps foot there will get a meal, this is true. I’m happy to know that Bread and Roses addresses the necessities of the Merrimack Valley.”

“We've been going to Therapeutic Horse Riding since more than 6years to Ironstone Farm. They've the best therapists and the staff is very accommodating, understanding and flexible to our needs.”

“Awesome place to work with and friendly, helpful employees. They do a lot of amazing work. Looks like a great place to work if I didn't already have a job I like.”

“The teachers are fabulous. Prior to joining the Y I went to a boutique gym that was three times more expensive than the Y and yet the teachers did not match the teachers at the Y. One example, at that gym all teachers were screaming all class long to cover the very high volume of the music. It was an unbearable cacophony that left me mentally exhausted. It was far from rewarding. When I tried to ask them to speak less over the music (since we were imitating their body movements anyway) they seemed very offended. I noticed that at the Y none of the teachers are in the bad habit of screaming during class, they respect the music, and let their bodies teach us the Zumba steps. I am highly recommending the Y. My only regret is that I did not join sooner!”

“I love this store. My husband recently passed away. I am on a very limited income. I love getting my clothes here. The prices are very very reasonable. I get a lot of compliments from my friends. The store is so clean. The staff is the best. I try to go here at least once a week.”

“Great place for amazing bargains. Now there is a rack of new items with tags still on them from original purchase. We have three Tuxedos size 40-42. Puma work out bag and plenty of athletic shorts for the whole family!”

“I grew up going to MCG's farmers markets and now I've worked for them for the past few summers. They are doing incredible work and the organization is filled with passionate, inspiring, and fun people! I would recommed anyone to work, volunteer, or interact with them!!”

“BILT, inc is a phenomenal company. The services they provide are dynamic and individualized and their staff are superb. I really appreciate all the hard work this team does.”

“This is a very large thrift shop with a LOT of clothing. Not much housewares but if you are into thrifting clothing this is the place. 2 floors. Enterence is hard to find along the side of the building (there also is a small lot) or park on the street and feed the meter $1 per hour.Prices are very good and they have weekly color tag discounts (ex 50% off on yellow, blue tags )No furniture.”

“This farm house was formerly located elsewhere. It once belonged to an African American family in the 1800's. At that time slavery had been abolished for quite some time in Massachusetts, so they would have been considered "free blacks" until 1865 when all slaves were formally emancipated in the USA. I didn't get to see the inside of this house but walked around the outside. I estimate that this house is roughly 16' x 32'. It looks like there is a tiny second floor area. From the front it looks probably much like it did when it was first built. The back has a wheelchair ramp, a piece of metal contemporary art and an air conditioning unit in one window. There is a large bell, some seating, and an informative sign out front. It is not owned by the National Parks but is right next to the parking lot for the North Bridge. It would be easy to visit the bridge and the Old Manse (owned by the trustees) at the same time. While this house is not grand, like the Old Manse, it is important to acknowledge how all Americans have lived, whether their ancestors were born on American soil, chose to start a new life here, or were forced to.”
