Community Spirit in Scituate

Community spirit has always been apart of Scituate. One great institution we have in the town is Scituate Etrusco Associates.

The Etrusco Associates got their start from a ship wreck that happened on a wild and stormy St. Patrick’s Day Eve in 1956 at Lighthouse Point. An Italian freighter named the Etrusco ran aground during a northeast gale. The Coast Guard brought the crew ashore at first light and the town turned out to feed, clothe and house the men. It took a gargantuan effort and eight months to re-float the ship. When the ship was repaired it was renamed the S.S. Scituate.

To commemorate this historic event a group of citizens formed the SCITUATE ETRUSCO ASSOCIATES. They presented a plaque to the town to commemorate the event and had it placed at Light House Point. They took as their moto “Help us to help others” and established a loan closet to provide medical and nursing equipment for local residents at no charge. They are a non profit organization that derives all of its funding through donations. You can reach them at S.E.A , Box 265, Scituate, MA 02066, 781-545-4411.
