This summer, Family Empowerment brought families together through a wide range of engaging activities—from dance, art, and pickleball to adaptive cycling classes.
A highlight of the season was the July 25 art show at ArtSpace, where Family Empowerment participants showcased their work during Greenfield’s monthly ArtWalk, a monthly event for the entire town where participating galleries and organizations showcase local artists on the last Friday of each month. The artwork was generated just a few days earlier, on July 22 with the adult class and July 23 with the children’s class, during Free Art sessions led by Program Director Angie Hawk and other Family Empowerment staff.
Later this month, on August 23, Family Empowerment will team up with All Out Adventures to host an adaptive kayaking event, offering another opportunity for families to enjoy the outdoors together before summer comes to a close.
Family Empowerment is a family support center program for Hampshire and Franklin Counties, assisting families who have loved ones with disabilities.
