With the prices of everything continuing to rise, this is a great time to let WIC help! WIC can save you money on groceries, so you have more to spend on other things your family needs! Shopping with WIC saves families an estimated $100-$200 a month​ on groceries depending on the size of their households. 👉Pro-tip: ​Many working families are eligible for and participate in WIC.

The snow may be gone, but hunger isn’t. 🌱

As spring arrives, many families in our community are still facing food insecurity. At The WellStorm, we continue working to bridge that gap by providing access to fresh food and essential resources for those who need it most.

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to the incredible partners, local businesses, and community members who help keep our shelves stocked. Your generosity makes it possible for us to support families, students, and neighbors every single week. 💚

As the need continues to grow, we are actively looking for new food partners and community collaborations to help us expand access and ensure no one goes without.

If your organization, business, or group is interested in partnering with us to fight hunger, we would love to connect.

Because while the seasons change, our commitment to feeding our community never will. 🌼

❤️ Happy Valentine’s Day from Family First Adult Foster Care ❤️

Today, we celebrate what matters most — love, family, and the comfort of home.
At Family First Adult Foster Care, love shows up in everyday moments:
a shared meal, a helping hand, a safe place to belong, and someone who truly cares.

We are honored to support caregivers and individuals across our community who open their hearts and homes so loved ones can remain where they feel safest — together.

This Valentine’s Day, we send gratitude to the families, caregivers, and members who make compassion part of daily life.
You are the heart of our mission.

💚 Because care is strongest when it feels like family.

I’m running for School Committee because I believe in Southbridge, and I believe in our kids.

As a parent of a child with autism, I know firsthand how critical strong, inclusive schools are. Every student deserves support, opportunity, and a system that listens to families. That’s what pushed me to step up—and I haven’t stopped working since.

Over the past three years, I’ve been deeply involved in our community and our schools. I helped start our SEPAC to amplify special education families’ voices. I worked to bring student voices to the School Committee table. I supported the turnaround plan, and today we are in the final phase toward exiting receivership and restoring local control.

I’ve attended countless trainings, completed a School Board Partners fellowship, met with advisors, collaborated with DESE, and helped parents get to meetings so their voices could be heard. I believe in good trouble! Showing up, speaking up, and pushing for better.

This work is about we, not me. There is no “I” in we. We’ve started something important, and I’m running so we can finish it—together.

I love Southbridge. I’m in the community every day, listening, learning, and working to make our schools stronger.

Let’s continue this momentum, restore full local governance, and build a district our students and families are proud of.

Let’s finish what we started.
