I’ve enjoyed working with Beyond Walls over the last year.

In the summer of 2020, Tim Cummings, Director of Economic Development, brought the concept of handwashing stations to the attention of the City of Nashua Division of Public Health and Community Services. The discussion focused on the benefit of handwashing stations in the areas of the city where community members would not be able to […]

I highly respect and am greatly excited by what Beyond Walls has accomplished in Lynn in a very short time.
