North Shore CDC Recognizes Local Stakeholders with Pillar of the Community Awards

On Wednesday, December 9th, North Shore Community Development Coalition will host its 11th Annual “No Place Like Home” Dinner & Auction. Held at Danversport Yacht Club from 6-9pm, the event celebrates a year of regional housing and community impacts with 400 of North Shore CDC’s partners and supporters in attendance.

The event recognizes the energy, leadership and spirit of exceptional community members through the Annual Pillar of the Community Awards.
