Community Highlight: MetroWest YMCA Receives Literacy Kits

The United Way of Tri-County provided over 150 literacy kits to the MetroWest YMCA to use for programs serving young children. Each literacy kit includes a book and a related activity aimed to foster early literacy, interactive learning, and development. Literacy kits are assembled by volunteers from local companies who support the United Way’s efforts in promoting education and early literacy in our communities. 

 

Staff Spotlight: Oreste from WHEAT Community Cupboard

Hi, my name is Oreste. I live in Lancaster and I started working at WHEAT under a grant through MassHire and SnapChef to help non-profits keep up with the demand of COVID-19. Initially I helped in the Café by prepping, packaging and delivering meals to the housing authorities in Clinton and Lancaster. Over the last month, I have worked as a Food Pantry Coordinator at the WHEAT Community Cupboard.
