THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, October 4, 2019 Page 19 ASKS | from page 18 excited to have this project, because people are always looking for ways to help out the veterans. They don’t get a lot of help from the government. This is something we can do locally and reach more people, because these veterans are members of peoples’ families, and this project is in honor of people who served or died to make sure we have the rights that we do. Q: Who are the volunteers that make up your group? A: I’m the president and founder. My mom, Corinne Riley, is the treasurer. Our secretary and social media manager is Cristina Palmieri, and our webmaster is Chris Silva. He’s my boyfriend. He’s also a Saugus High graduate – Class of 2010. Cristina is also Class of 2016. She’s in my grade. And my mom is Class of ’75. Q: And you want to incorporate as a nonprofi t and make this a bigger thing? A: Yes, I’d like to make this a 501(c)(3), and I’d like to see if we can get other towns involved so we can cover Eastern Massachusetts. For now it’s pretty small, but once we get certifi ed as a 501(c)(3), I think we will have the opportunity to go bigger with other communities. Q: About how many hours A LITTLE HELP: A close-up of a Saugus Blessings Bag that contains toiletries and personal items. Saugus Blessing Bags distributes them to needy people in various shelters throughout Greater Boston. (Courtesy Photo to The Saugus Advocate) do you estimate that you put into Saugus Blessings Bags? A: Some weeks are busier than others, but on average, I would say maybe 15 to 20 hours a week. Q: What about over the whole time period? A: Since this began? Oh, hundreds and hundreds of hours. I could never keep track. Q: Anything else that you would like to share about Saugus Blessings Bags or about your current project? A: We do work with nine demographics. In the past, we have worked with women trying to escape domestic violence; we’ve helped those people; we’ve helped recovering addicts; we have worked with teens and youth – families with children; we have helped people in the shelters. Our next project – after we have fi nished the Soldiers’ Home – we’ll be working with the Mass. Coalition for the Homeless in getting products to kids in inner city schools who will be able to pick these things up in school so they don’t need to go ask for it. We’re trying to hit as many demographics as possible and try to help out as many people as we can and not focus on just one group. We want to have as big as an outreach as is possible. 1.
