The Margaret Fund

SMOC is establishing a fund in honor of our beloved employee of 50 years, Margaret Davitt, who we are sad to announce passed away of Covid -19 on May 14, 2020. The Margaret Fund will provide grants of up to $50 to unaccompanied single adults who reside in SMOC's supportive housing continuum, for the purchase of an item that will aid in their efforts to sustain and nourish their recovery. The recipients's advocate, case manager or housing coordinator at SMOC will be responsible for making the request.

Margaret did many things during her fifty years with SMOC, starting as a street outreach counselor, overseeing Head Start and Day Care for decades, and serving as the organization's Deputy Director for Programs. She dearly loved the role of Detox Nurse, which she did for many years.

Most importantly, Margaret was the spiritual center of the SMOC universe. She was also a notoriously 'soft touch' throughout her entire career. To those who are able, please consider donating whatever you can.

To make a tax-deductible donation to the Margaret Fund, PLEASE CLICK HERE and specify that your gift is in memory of Margaret Davitt or to support The Margaret Fund in the drop down menu. Or, mail a check to SMOC, memo line "The Margaret Fund", 7 Bishop Street, Framingham, MA 01702.
