We want to thank this incredible team from AmeriCorps NCCC one last time for their hard work the last couple of weeks at the Marlborough School! The team also worked together with our friends and partners at Jerusalem Farm and the Marlborough Community Coalition to help at some remodel projects and at Marlborough Park. Volunteers like yourselves are the heart and soul of community land trusts and are vital to our mission to create affordable, equitable housing solutions! Safe travels and thank you for being a force for good!
