Hanover, MA Hanover Crossing has entered into a partnership with Cardinal Cushing Centers and has hired two people in the Centers’ South Shore Industries Day Program (SSI) to create and maintain planter arrangements near the Showcase Cinema De Lux and Macy’s entrances this summer and into the fall.

The Cardinal Cushing Centers are education and support facilities for children and adults with developmental and intellectual challenges operated by the Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi.

The South Shore Industries Day Program supports adults with disabilities to become active members of their community and to obtain meaningful employment. The SSI program is offered at both the Hanover and Braintree Cardinal Cushing Centers locations.

“We are delighted to partner with Cardinal Cushing Centers and welcome the assistance of the SSI Day Program participants as we continue to beautify our premises,” said Lisa Berardinelli, marketing director of Hanover Crossing. “Our goal is to have Hanover Crossing be a truly welcoming place, a great neighbor, and a community partner.  This is a partnership we hope to continue for many years to come.”

“Hanover Crossing is a wonderful community partner and we are so glad to work with them on this initiative,” said Michelle Markowitz, president and CEO of Cardinal Cushing Centers.  “We are very appreciative of the example they set for other organizations in our community, and look forward to working with them on other projects in the future.”
