Star Market A Good Neighbor
North End non-profit organizations depend on sponsors and donations from local businesses to continue to provide needed services in the community.
One good neighbor is Star Market on the Hub on Causeway Street. On a regular basis has assisted the ABCD North End/West End Neighborhood Service Center during many holiday events, other occasions and celebrations over the years.
Not only does Star Market provide many gift certificates for these events, at least twice a week, they donate groceries and produce to the Center, that is distributed by the Center to local seniors, families and other needy residents.
The business should be called 5 Star Market.
NEMPAC Carries a Big Tune
It’s amazing how the North End Music and Performing Arts Center (NEMPAC) has continuously expanded over the years and is still growing.
NEMPAC has provided quality programs in the fields of Performing Arts and Music from their start up in a small facility in the Prado in the shadows of the Old North Church and Saint Stephen’s Church located between Unity and Hanover Streets.
The neighborhood’s, non-profit organization has managed to provide many people outstanding learning classes and actual performance within the community and other sites in the city.
NEMPAC offered a great opportunity for people to pursue their goals down the road.
Eventually, NEMPAC was able to expand its space of operation, opening another new facility on Tileston Street.
They are now able to offer more interested parties the chance to succeed in the performing arts and music fields.
NEMPAC is a professional organization that has earned respect in the industry and the neighborhood, by becoming an excellent teaching program, their great performances they have presented over the years.
NEMPAC is an asset to the neighborhood.
