We're so excited to share our first photos of the Women's Center at Abby's House! A new reception desk, meeting rooms and community space, a commercial kitchen, bright new hallways, and of course, the thrift store! Abby's House provides so many great services to women, and we're glad to be able to help get the most out of their space.

We'll share photos of the new residential spaces next week. Many thanks to everyone at Abby's who let us interrupt their day with our cameras, and to Greig Cranna for shooting!

Abby’s House continues mission after $16M renovation

Worcester Telegram

Construction is in progress on our renovation of Abby's House in Worcester - and there's an article on it's impact in the Worcester Telegram! It's great to see the impact of the work we do. Read more in the link above.

As demolition began this week at the site of Elizabeth Stone House’s future new home, we took a moment to photograph the existing structure on the site.

Early in the design process, we studied the possibility of incorporating the existing structure into the design of the new building. However, the brick and cinderblock building was in poor condition, and it was quickly determined that it would cost more than its value to preserve the old structure.

In the mean time, the old, one-story industrial building became home to a growing collection of murals celebrating the site’s future purpose: supporting strong women and families.

We’ll be sad to see the artwork go, but we hope the new building will be a welcome replacement - and we know the new tenants will be!

For this year’s post-holiday celebration, TNG decided to take a cooking class together! Cambridge School of Culinary Arts walked us through a truly elaborate menu. I was impressed by how well we were able to organize ourselves into effective teams, incorporating a wide variety of experience levels in the kitchen. A team building experience for sure! And the meal came out wonderfully. Thank you, Chef Sharon and Chef Heidi, for the wonderful experience! We have MANY photos from the event to share.
