Tonight’s CFCE Community Council meeting is cancelled. We hope to see you next month!

What is the CFCE Community Council?

The Coalition for Children administers a Coordinated Family and Community Engagement (CFCE) grant serving Falmouth and Mashpee. This grant, which is supported by the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care, provides programs and services for families with young children, age birth through kindergarten.

Each CFCE program is overseen by a council of parents, public school staff, family child care providers, businesses and programs that serve families with young children. The council builds community partnerships that improve services for families with young children by responding to their needs. Thus, the Coalition for Children’s programs and services are discussed by the council, based on the unique needs of our community.

🧣Looking for something fun to do? Bundle up and get outside to enjoy the sights and scents of winter... look for icicles and animal tracks, listen for chickadees, cardinals and other winter birds, try out Shelby's breathing activities in the fresh, cold winter air! (TIP: when the outside temp is 25°F or lower, bring out the bubbles and watch how they instantly freeze!)

RECALL NOTICE: A major producer recalled thousands of batches of its Pecorino Romano cheese due to the confirmed presence of Listeria monocytogenes. This week, the FDA bumped up the recall to “Class I” status, meaning consumption has a high probability of causing “serious adverse health consequences or death.”

All of the products involved in the recall have expiration dates well into 2026. The recall pertains to numerous brands of grated Pecorino (Boars Head, Locatelli, Member’s Mark) that were distributed throughout 20 states, including Massachusetts.
