Sooooo many good events coming up this month! We hope to see you soon 🤩
¡Se avecinan muchos eventos interesantes este mes! ¡Esperamos verte pronto! 🤩

Meet the team!! 🌟
We have some new additions to our team and we are so excited to serve Nashua together 🫶

Marinely: Our Children's Program Assistant is bilingual in English and Spanish 🧡. Fun fact 🙂I’m passionate about helping kids, volunteering in my community, and enjoying the outdoors. When I’m not at a community event, you’ll find me gardening, dancing, or spending quality time with family and friends 🌿✨.
I love staying active sometimes running, sometimes jogging, and sometimes just enjoying a walk in the park. Email Marinely at abudm@nashuanh.gov.

Anya: Serving as our Americorps VISTA 2025-2026 💙. Anya specializes in our marketing and online presence. She is passionate about collaborations creating community-focused solutions that make a difference. When Anya isn't at the Center you can find her with her black lab, Eddy, or skiing on the slopes 🏔. You can email her at asccnashua@gmail.com.

Manisha: Our first ever Children's Program Coordinator since 2024 💛. She leads our children's and families activities and initiatives. She is passionate about providing accessible opportunities for different families and children of all ages. When she's not at the Center you can find her trying new vegan recipes or volunteering in our community 🌱. You can reach her at chourasiam@nashuanh.gov.

Jessica: Has been our Executive Director since 2022 💚. Jessica is passionate about building social capital and creating equitable opportunities for positive relationships building between neighbors and resources. When she's not at the Center you can find her hiking or chilling with her cat, Sushi 🐈‍⬛️. You can reach Jessica at haggj@nashuanh.gov.

On October 29th, Nashua lost Gloria J. Timmons - a fierce advocate, friend, and founder of the Center. From day one, Gloria was an integral part of bringing the center to fruition. She understood the importance of community and her life of service was evident of that. Her mission was to serve and support the underrepresented in Nashua, and the Center is beyond honored to be a part of her legacy. She was always the first to volunteer to help with programs or events, especially with being our resident photographer. She made time to connect with others and put their needs before her own. Simply put, the center wouldn't be where it is today without her. We are overwhelmed with gratitude to continue her work to honor her presence in Nashua now and forever.

On September 20th, the Nashua Fatherhood Group and ASCC hosted a free family apple-picking event at Parlee Farms — and it was a huge success🍎🍏! Over 130 community members joined us for a fun day outdoors. A big thank-you to @parleefarms for welcoming us and to @nhcfoundation for funding this event. Most of all, thank you to everyone who came out for some Fall fun 🍂!

Don't forget Food Systems Day 2025 is this Thursday from 4pm-6pm 🌎. The first 35 families receive an amazing gift basket filled with local goodies 🤩. Don't miss out!

RAIN OR SHINE ☀️☔️ We hope to see you at our second annual Family Day in the Park event this Saturday from 11am-2pm at Sargent Park.
