This summer, the United Way of Central Massachusetts awarded YOU, Inc. with three grants from the Creating Community Change (C3) and Summer Strong grant programs.

The Seven Hills Behavioral Health Food Pantry would like to thank BayCoast Bank for their grant award of $1,000. For the past eight years, the Seven Hills Behavioral Health Food Pantry has been providing food, resources, and support to individuals in need, from the Massachusetts’ south coast. This continued support from BayCoast Bank will help our Food Pantry serve over 1,000 individuals this year. We’re proud of our partnership with BayCoast and the work we are able to accomplish with their support

The Massachusetts Cultural Council (MCC) has awarded Open Door Arts a supplemental unrestricted grant in the amount of $2,250 from its Cultural Investment Portfolio Grant Funds Safe Harbor Initiative. Open Door Arts will use funds to continue to provide the arts as a powerful tool for people with disabilities to use towards voicing their ideas and desires as citizens in this changing world. We are so thankful to the Massachusetts Cultural Council and their continued faith in our work.
