Founded in 1956, the SCRA Ski Club is one of the oldest continuously operating water ski clubs in the United States. SCRA's mission is to promote water skiing and wakeboarding as healthy and fun alternative activities for young people and to encourage community involvement among its members.

The Worcester County Food Bank collects, inspects, and stores donated food and grocery product and distributes it through a network of 283 partner agencies to help feed hungry people living in 72 cities and towns in Central Massachusetts. The Food Bank serves as an advocate for agencies providing hunger-relief services. The Why Me organization was created and is managed by families who have had a child treated for cancer at the University of Mass. Memorial Medical Center and wish to help other families who now face cancer. This deeply felt, personal perspective serves as a guiding light in delivering services that are essential, compassionate and life affirming.
