Meet our summer Human Resources Intern Ana Herrera, from Fitchburg State University.

Anna is a Business Administration major at Fitchburg State University and she’s also actively involved on campus. Anna is currently serving as Vice President of Phi Sigma Sigma at Fitchburg State University where she's also been involved with fundraisers for their national foundation and the The Jimmy Fund. Ana loves music and when she's not studying or involved with sorority activities, you'll catch her on the quad with her headphones on listening to music or at a concert.

“The Human Resources Department at CHC has been so welcoming, I’m grateful for this amazing opportunity.” – Ana Herrera

Summer Eats livens up every kid’s summer by filling their bellies and filling their days with activities that get them out, up, and moving.

Brought to you by Massachusetts' Department of Education and local school and community meal providers, Summer Eats sites across the state provide free meals to all kids and teens, no identification or registration required. Caregivers can rest easier knowing meals are off their hands, and use that time and energy to focus on everything else on their to-do list.
