The Historical Society, one of the city’s oldest cultural institutions, is being recognized this month through the Peabody Area Chamber of Commerce’s Chamber for Good initiative — a program designed to connect local nonprofits with businesses and the broader community.

“The Peabody Area Chamber is proud to recognize nonprofits like the Peabody Historical Society through our Chamber for Good program,” said Deanne Healey, Chamber president. “Supporting local nonprofits means supporting the heart of our community — and the Historical Society plays a vital role in preserving Peabody’s story for generations to come.”

One upcoming event exemplifies how business and nonprofit collaboration can strengthen community ties. On Monday, May 6, the Society will partner with Amigo’s Mexican Kitchen and Tequila Bar for a “Dining for a Cause” night. A portion of the restaurant’s sales that evening will be donated directly to the Historical Society to help support ongoing maintenance of its properties and collections.

“We’re excited to partner with Amigo’s not only to raise funds, but more importantly to spread the word about our organization’s mission and presence in the city,” Eskenazi said. “The arts and humanities play such an important role in Peabody’s culture. Now, more than ever, programs like Chamber for Good help nonprofits like ours reach more people and grow.”
