Springfield families to benefit from $7M grant
A grant award from Children’s Trust of Massachusetts totaling $1.4 million per year for the next five years is to help thousands of families in Springfield. These families will continue to benefit from Square One’s Healthy Families program due to the grant award. “Square One is proud to continue to provide this vital service to families throughout greater Springfield and to serve as a model for other programs around the country,” says Melissa Blissett, Square One’s Vice President of Family Support Services. “The program encapsulates our mission, and with the success we have achieved since program inception in 2010, we are eager to continue the important work we have been engaged in with parents, their children, and their extended families.”
