Who we are
Melrose SAC began in 1972 with a small group
of women reaching out to patients in the
Melrose Wakefield Hospital. They had a simple
dream – to share their time and good fortune
with others in their community. Their efforts
focused on helping psychiatric patients with
daily living skills. This small group of women
pooled their time and resources, donating a
piano, kitchen supplies and toys – everything
they could to improve the quality of the patients’
lives.
Their dreams grew, and they knew they needed
more money to achieve them

The First Fundraiser
The first fundraiser was launched in 1974.
The founding members hosted a fashion
show in the basement of the Church of the
Incarnation in Melrose. There wasn’t much
money available to produce the show, but that
didn’t stop them. The ladies made their
debut as fashion models - and their
husbands accompanied them down the
runway.
