CFS awarded $10,000 by the Acushnet Foundation Fund of The SouthCoast Community Foundation

The SouthCoast Community Foundation has awarded a grant in the amount of $10,000 from the Acushnet Foundation Fund to Child & Family Services to be used toward general operating expenses- wherever it is needed most throughout the year.

Child & Family Services is one of the largest mental health providers in the area, offering a wide array of programs at multiple sites throughout the state of Massachusetts. The need for general operating funds is vital and assists in providing the critical resources needed to continue building a better tomorrow for individuals and families facing some of life’s most distressing challenges.

This generous contribution will have a meaningful impact on clients of all ages and demographics who receive crucial services from CFS each day. All funds will be used to support the work being done to improve the quality of life in our community. The agency is incredibly thankful to the SouthCoast Community Foundation for preemptively recognizing that need.

Since 1995, the SouthCoast Community Foundation has served as a catalyst for philanthropic giving. They work to provide essential support for nonprofit organizations throughout southeastern Massachusetts, truly fulfilling their mission to benefit their region. “With continued support from the Acushnet Foundation Fund of the SouthCoast Community Foundation, we are proudly able to help children, adults, and families overcome their struggles and to restore or create a sense of dignity, stability, and hope that they desperately deserve,” stated Wendy Botelho, CEO of Child & Family Services.
