This e-newsletter is a collaborative effort by four local coalitions – Greenfield 4SC, Gill-Montague Community School Partnership, Communities that Care, and the North Quabbin Community Coalition, with support from the Franklin Regional Council of Governments.
Our hope is to help connect families and family service providers with timely news, ideas, and inspiration – and to offer these things in a package that feels helpful and supportive during this stressful time. On this page you can check out past issues – each of them has a ‘subscribe’ button you can click to sign up to get future issues emailed to you.
