Building Community in Boxford
Here in Boxford we’ve always had a strong sense of community — we just needed a place to celebrate it! The Center at 10 Elm was built to provide a space for activities, programs and events for everyone!
The Boxford Community Center will be at the Apple Festival again this year and we would love your help. We will be raffling off a one-of-a-kind Gift Basket by Boxford’s own Oak and Thyme!*
We need volunteers to register participants: boxfordcommunitycenter@gmail.com
The Apple Festival is on September 19th from 10 to 3. We have the following shifts available: 10 to 12, 12 to 2, and 2 to 3:30 -- bonus points because this includes breakdown!
*wait ‘til you see Meagan’s specially curated “Boxford’s Best” Basket

Partnership Event
Thank you to everyone who joined us in July for a celebration of 250 years of Boxford History. It was a joyous, inspiring and once in a lifetime event made even more meaningful by your presence on the lawn of the historic Holyoke-French House.

The 10 Elm Foundation
The 10 Elm Foundation was established in 2020 to raise funds for the construction of Boxford’s Center at 10 Elm: a joint Community and Senior center. Once the building was completed in 2023 the town found itself struggling to build support for the new Community Center. The 10 Elm Foundation filled that void. Our mission had to evolve to provide and fund community programming and events for all Boxford residents. The 10 Elm Foundation has worked to establish new relationships in the community and serve the community as a whole.
Our board is made up of members from throughout the community – young parents and grandparents and everyone in between. We are all united in our belief that the Center at 10 Elm act as a hub for social connection, providing a space for people of all ages to gather, participate in activities, access educational opportunities, promote health and wellness, and overall build a stronger sense of community and belonging in Boxford.
