HOLIDAY HOPE FOR THE HOMELESS’ CELEBRATES 12TH YEAR

Christmas will be a little brighter for needy children in S.E. Mass. this year thanks to the efforts of a young woman who has been bringing gifts to families in local homeless shelters for the last 12 years. Corie Bulman Nagle, granddaughter of the late Jack Conway, founder of Jack Conway Real Estate Co., has been running a “Holiday Hope For the Homeless” drive since she was an eighth grade student in the Scituate Public Schools. Now a Marshfield High School teacher and part-time Conway real estate agent, she continues to work with Father Bill & MainSpring shelters to compile lists of children and families every year and identify their Christmas wishes.

“Corie has giving in her genes,” said her mother, Conway CEO Carol Bulman. “She puts a tremendous amount of work into her annual gift drives, and the families who benefit from them are extremely grateful. I’m very proud of her and of all the people in our company who step up to the plate to help her.”

Nagle conducted her first Hope for the Homeless Drive shortly after a new Middleboro family shelter was named in honor of her grandparents, Jack and Patti Conway in 1998. “I visited ‘Conway House’ with my Mom, and saw all the mothers there with little children,” said Nagle. “I just wanted to do something to help them have a good Christmas. “Since that day, we have delivered 20,000 gifts to nearly 1,000 children in homeless shelters. I want to thank everyone who helped to make that happen.”

Jack Conway Employees Prep Toys for the Homeless

Conway agent Bonnie Stiner and her daughter participated in gift wrapping for the Holiday Hope for the Homeless.

Corie Bulman Nagle of North Scituate, a biology teacher at Marshfield High School and a Jack Conway-Scituate Realtor, marked her 11th consecutive year of collecting and distributing toys for children in South Shore homeless shelters.

The 25-year-old woman began her toys for the homeless program back in 2000 when she was an 8th grade student in the Scituate Public Schools.

“The first year we distributed toys at Easter to residents at Conway House in Middleboro to about 12 children,” recalled Bulman Nagle. “The program grew and grew and one year we brought Christmas to about 120 children in the homeless programs at Conway House, Middleboro, Evelyn House in Stoughton and MainSpring’s scattered site programs.”

“This past year, we wrapped and distributed toys for 70 children,” she added. “I want to thank the individuals and companies that supported our 2011 drive, particularly Circe’s Grotto in North Scituate, the W.B. Mason Co., Jack Conway Company agents and employees, and the students and teachers at Marshfield High School. It takes the generous donations and efforts of so many volunteers to make our program a success. Thanks to all who made Christmas a little brighter for homeless families this season.”

Bulman-Nagle is the daughter of Carol and Michael Bulman and the granddaughter of Patti and Jack Conway, all of Scituate. She lives on Gannett Road in Scituate with her husband Kevin Nagle.
