A Message from the heart during these uncertain times.
Today, the way we we are going about life is different than it was yesterday and will likely look even more different tomorrow, but one thing that will never change...
The people served by Springfield Family Center need us..and they will need us even more tomorrow and the next day...
Simply put.... helping people takes money...
The way we are delivering our services today may look different than before, but we are still here to help those facing adversity...
and one thing is for sure....
We are committed to pushing forward and serving people thorough this Coronavirus and well beyond....
We are asking you to remember the Springfield Family Center... if you can, please consider a donation to the Springfield Family Center, Inc.
Equally important are words of encouragement and taking the time to lend a helping hand to your neighbor.
As always, the Springfield Family Center proudly serves Vermont residents in Springfield, North Springfield and Baltimore communities.
THANK YOU.....THANK YOU....THANK YOU....
TOGETHER, WE GOT THIS!
How you can help us help others during these unprecedented times
We are currently experiencing a new way of life that not many could have anticipated. As we all work to navigate these seemingly unpredictable and challenging times together the Springfield Family Center continues to change and adapt to meet the growing need for our community. Unexpected layoffs and unpaid time off of work have impacted many in a significant way.
In direct response to the rapidly shifting economy the Springfield Family Center has tracked a rise in the number of individuals and families who are needing to access the food shelf and daily pre-made lunches. We anticipate that this trend will continue as many seek out new ways to keep food on their tables.
We’re asking for your help. If you are able, please consider food or monetary donations to help us keep our food shelf stocked. We are also in need of “to go” containers, brown paper lunch bags, aluminum foil and sandwich bags. If you are currently unable to donate, another way you could help would be to share this post.
As always, the Springfield Family Center proudly serves Vermont residents in Springfield, North Springfield and Baltimore communities.
Thank you for all you are doing!
Together we will get through this!
