Our New Day Center is "A Place to Call Home"
We are thrilled to announce that the purchase and renovation of our new Day Center is complete! Our new home, located at 6 Mulligan Street in Natick, allows families the privacy and dignity they deserve while giving staff necessary space to work. A bigger facility also enables our volunteers to share their skills with our families and the organization more effectively. Additionally, a large conference room encourages deeper collaborations with other organizations that serve families, enabling us to further expand our services.
Please join Family Promise Metrowest's "A Place to Call Home" capital campaign and help us raise $1.2 million for our new home. To support our efforts, make a pledge or contact one of the following campaign committee members to receive more information:
