Dear Friends and Colleagues,

When I joined New Life in April 2019, I was inspired by the mission to help low-income families transitioning out of homelessness by providing essential household furniture and items. Over the years, I have had the privilege of working alongside a dedicated team of staff, volunteers, and supporters who are truly committed to making a difference in our community.

I am incredibly proud of what we have accomplished together. Our work has not only provided tangible support to families but has also offered hope and dignity to those going through challenging times. The impact we have made is a testament to the collective efforts of everyone involved with New Life Furniture Bank of MA, Inc., and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to have been part of this journey.

As I prepare to move on to new opportunities, I want to assure you that New Life is in a strong position to continue its mission. The Board of Directors is actively working on a transition plan to ensure that the organization remains on its path of growth and success. I have every confidence that the next leader will build on the foundation we have created and continue to advance our mission.

Though I am stepping down from my role, I will always remain a supporter and advocate for New Life. The work we do is vital, and I look forward to seeing the organization continue to thrive and make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve.

Thank you for your trust, your collaboration, and your friendship. I am excited about the future, both for myself and for New Life, Inc., and I am confident that great things lie ahead for us all.

On Oct 24th, we will be celebrating the kick off to our annual campaign. It would be great to see you there. Sign up here

With warmest regards,

Rich Purnell
