The Melrose Messenger

Melrose Kind

• The month's Melrose Kind drive is an important one, because with every sock donated, we are honoring Scott Forbes. Scott was a wonderful guy -- and committed community member -- and one of the very first Melrosians to embrace the MK mission. We still hear him saying ‘I like it! I like it!’.
• NEW socks are the most requested items by the housing insecure, and homeless veterans were near and dear to Scott's heart. As we’ve done in past years, we will donate to Scott's mission at the Veterans Northeast Outreach Center.
• Scott – you are missed dearly, and we hope to make you proud continuing this important work.

• Please consider donating via one of our porches or our Amazon wish list.
• Kindness Porches:

• 89 Walton Park
• 160 West Wyoming
