Each year, The Newcomers makes a wide range of charitable donations right here in Westborough. This holiday season will be no different. We will be making donations to the Holiday Store run by Westborough Youth and Family Services, reaching needy families through the Interfaith Giving Tree, sponsoring gifts for local seniors and donating to a local residential program for struggling teens.The list below was compiled by Westborough Cares, a local collaborative organization who provide information on charitable giving. All of these organizations are located here in Westborough and work to serve our neighbors in need.
