We are feeling incredibly grateful today 💙

Our wonderful partner agency, 18 Degrees Family Services for Western MA, and their Family Resource Center Program Director, Sharon Collins Newton, stopped by with a very special gift for the people we serve. Participants from the Family Resource Center have been busy at work creating beautiful, heartfelt gifts for members of our community, and we were honored to receive them.

This generous gesture means so much to our families and staff, and it truly reflects the care, creativity, and community spirit behind the work at 18 Degrees. We are so thankful for this kindness and for our continued partnership.

Thank you, Sharon, and thank you to everyone at 18 Degrees for thinking of us and the families we serve. 💙
