Neighbors Transforming Compassion into Action
In the heart of the Vista Point neighborhood at The Pinehills, surrounded by stunning sunsets and amazing amenities, there's a story of heartfelt compassion.
Vista Point is home to a remarkable group of six women: Stacey Cappella, Alison Davies, Judy Mosca, Jo-Anne Gretemeyer, Deb Cahoon, Lynnda Tibbetts Macisso and Joanne Nadeau. These neighbors have transformed everyday kindness into extraordinary community service. Their consistent acts of kindness are making a real difference in Plymouth.
This isn't about grand gestures – though Stacey Cappella recently received the President’s Award from The Home for Little Wanderers for her efforts.
The Gives Back Team's mission is simple: they do whatever they can to help the Plymouth community. It's proof that heroism lies in everyday acts of care and concern, as they lift everyone around them through quiet but impactful efforts.

With a Little (a lot) Help from Their Friends
As the Vista Point Gives Back Team has discovered, it takes a village to make a difference. Many local businesses and neighbors have helped them make significant impacts in our community. They would like to thank the following area businesses including Country Ski and Sport, Rose & Vicki's, Peppermint Twist Candy, The Depot in Duxbury and Vinyl Lunatics Records. And of course, a big thank you to the many neighbors who donated throughout the year!
