QUINCY, Massachusetts, January 5, 2018 - As a generous supporter of QCARE (Quincy After School Child Care), Boston Property Ventures (BPV) has spread holiday cheer throughout Quincy by stepping up for the third year to organize their own donation drive to fulfill wish lists of QCARE families in need. BPV’s CEO Peter McLoughlin and his team of “Santa’s elves” presented a sleigh full of donated gifts for children and families.

“The residents of Quincy and the city of Quincy have been good to us as a development firm. Our Partnership with QCARE is our way of saying thank you to the people of Quincy. It is our way of paying it forward, which has been a part of our company culture since founding over 15 years ago,” said Quincy native and BPV CEO Peter McLoughlin.

Recipients of BPV’s generous donations are QCARE program participants with demonstrated need, including families with children receiving state subsidized care, children in foster homes, those on QCARE tuition scholarships, or families who have come upon unexpected hard times.

Upon receiving the gifts and a grocery store gift card all generously provided by Boston Property Venture employees, a recipient who has experienced an extremely turbulent year wrote, “It blew me away that a stranger, someone who has never met us, wanted to help us. I started to look at people different from that day on because by your caring, compassionate, selfless act, I was finally able to see that there are still good people who don't judge or even have to know someone's circumstances to reach out and help. I am forever grateful to you and hope that I can be even half the person you are and help someone else in need when I am able to.”

“Giving is what the season is all about, and we are so grateful for the generous employees at BPV.  Mr. McLoughlin’s leadership of his company and our Board will only continue to benefit this community”, said QCARE Executive Director, Sarah Morrison. In November, Peter McLoughlin was named President of the QCARE Board of Directors. “It is important that we continue to find strong business partners like BPV to help support QCARE in our mission to serve the children and families of this community,” Morrison said. QCARE will celebrate 30 years of non-profit services in the Quincy community with a celebration gala at Granite Links on Thursday, May 10, 2018.

Quincy After School Child Care (QCARE), Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that offers licensed care for school aged children, kindergarten through thirteen years old in nine Quincy elementary schools. QCARE is an affordable school age program created by former Quincy Mayor Francis X. McCauley and the Mayor's Commission on The Status of Women in 1987. A variety of programs are offered through Quincy After School Child Care, Inc., including school age programs during the school year, February and April vacation programs, as well as a summer program at the Lincoln Hancock school. QCARE enrolls students receiving state subsidized care and also supports working families with a demonstrated financial need through a tuition scholarship grant program. Both subsidies and scholarships help to reduce weekly child care costs for low income families. Tuition scholarships are made possible through physically donated funds from grants, business donations, and generous private donors.

The QCARE “wish list” program is a project of QCARE. Whenever possible, QCARE strives to provide additional supports to low income families in a multitude of ways throughout the year. During the year, and especially around the holidays, members of QCARE’s community approach the agency and ask how they can support families in need. For the last decade, the QCARE staff and program families have rallied to support gift giving to children during the Christmas season. First, through a Toys for Tots drive, then a toy drive for DOVE, and in more recent years by collecting and distributing gifts to QCARE program participants in need.

Boston Property Ventures (BPV), LLC is a fully-integrated real estate investment management and development firm with multiple business units that identify, fund, develop, construct and manage the homes and workplaces that today’s sophisticated residents and businesses demand.
