Merrimack Education Center is a sponsor of the following local organizations:

The Wish Project

The Wish Project in Lowell, MA is a non-profit organization that provides basic goods to families in need throughout the Merrimack Valley. Merrimack Education Center donates monthly services to The Wish Project in support of their communications with social service agencies. We donate to funds set up for local families involved in a tragedy, such as the Lowell Fire Victims Fund. Our staff also holds holiday gift and seasonal clothing and goods drives at our Chelmsford offices.
