How to contribute to The Patriot Ledger’s Lend a Hand fund

Lend a Hand, The Patriot Ledger's annual holiday charitable program, began in 1998 and has raised more than $3.3 million over the last 23 years to help South Shore families and people in need.

Working with three established community service agencies — Quincy Community Action Programs, South Shore Community Action Council and Aspire Health Alliance — Lend a Hand has presented the compelling stories of people in need and invited readers to open their hearts and wallets to help.
