SFC Leadership Transition

The Family Center Board of Directors would like to express our sincere gratitude to Trish Paradis for her dedication, leadership, and commitment to the Family Center. Her contributions have helped strengthen our organization and advance our mission of serving children, families, and community members throughout our region. We thank her for her service and wish her the

very best in her future endeavors.


The Board of Directors recognizes that our clients, partners, and community members may have questions about how the Family Center will operate during this transition. We want to assure you that our programs and services will continue without interruption.


During the interim period:


• Steffanie Baker, Kitchen & Operations Manager (programsatsfc@gmail.com), will continue overseeing the day-to-day operations of the Family Center and ensuring that services remain responsive to the needs of our clients and community.


• Paul Cioffi, Board Treasurer (pfcioffi3@gmail.com), will handle administrative and governance-related responsibilities as needed and will serve as the primary point of contact for matters requiring board attention.


The Board has begun the process to search for the Family Center's next Executive Director. We remain committed to our mission and to the partnerships that make our work possible.

Springfield Family Center named 2025 Organization of the Year!

 We are honored to receive the Organization of the Year Award at the Springfield Regional Chamber of Commerce Annual Meeting.


This recognition belongs to our entire community. For nearly six decades, SFC has worked alongside individuals and families with compassion, hope, and support.


We sincerely thank our donors, volunteers, community partners, and neighbors for making this work possible. Together
