The Newburyport Bank Charitable Foundation has donated $15,000 to Link House, Inc. The donation will be used specifically for the purchase of new bedroom furniture for its Progress House longer-term residential housing program located in Amesbury, MA.
Link House, Inc., provides residential programs in Salisbury, Newburyport and Amesbury for men and women who struggle with drug and alcohol addictions. The non-profit organization was founded in 1972 and has successfully served more than 5,500 men and women with their gender-specific substance use recovery programs. Progress House itself is a longer-term residential program where 25 men work on their recovery in a highly supportive, safe, and sober environment for a period of up to two years.
“Sadly, substance abuse had been on the rise, and the recent Pandemic exacerbated that,” stated Lloyd L. Hamm, President & CEO of Newburyport Bank. “Its impact on individuals, their families, and society at large are profound. Fortunately, we have in our midst a wonderful organization like Link House that tackles the issue head-on. Their multifaceted programs address substance abuse at its core, and provide a path forward for those affected. The work they do is vital to the long-term sustainability of our communities and we’re proud to support their efforts.”
