Lowell – The Megan House Foundation announced today it has received a $3,000 grant from the Greater Lowell Community Foundation (GLCF) through its Women Working Wonders Fund 2026 grant cycle.

The funds will support the Megan House Foundation in its mission of providing holistic, long term residential treatment and transitional housing for substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions.

“Rooted in Recovery” aims to beautify the environments of the three homes where residents live, provide a free and accessible coping skill, and alleviate symptoms of mental health and substance use disorders.

In alignment with the Women Working Wonders Fund’s goal of supporting environmental beautification projects that benefit women and girls, the spaces will include gardening areas for planting flowers, herbs, and vegetables, as well as comfortable areas for relaxation, reflection, peer connection, and healthy recreation.

Residents will work together to plan, design, and maintain the spaces. Through their participation, women will contribute to the beautification of their community while developing a sense of pride, ownership, responsibility, and connection to their environment.

The project will transform existing outdoor areas into functional, welcoming, usable, beautiful spaces.

“This grant will allow us to create a space where recovery, wellness, and connection can grow together,” said Angela Copeman, Megan’s House Program Director. “Through Rooted in Recovery, our residents will have meaningful opportunities to spend time outdoors, build new skills, and experience the sense of purpose and accomplishment that comes from caring for something and watching it grow.”

The “Rooted in Recovery” Project is supported by a grant from the Greater Lowell Community Foundation. This project is also made possible thanks in part to support from the Greater Lowell Community Foundation.
