Community Corner
Kick It Up for the Kid 5K Walk & Run
Help raise money for the
programs of Children's Friend, whose mission is to improve the lives of
children and those who love them. Founded in 1849, Children’s Friend is
the oldest child and family service agency in central Massachusetts.
Money raised from the walk and run will benefit their critical child and
family service programs that are designed to improve family
relationships, ensure effective parenting and protection of children,
enable young people struggling with mental and behavioral problems or grief
to reach their full potentials, and help create within each family an
environment where children can grow into healthy, educated and
responsible members of the community.
