New Family Center Opens While Celebrating The 145th Anniversary
The opening of the new
Family
Center in
Mason Square has been scheduled for Tuesday, April 27, 2010 at 3:30 p.m. at The Children's Study Home,
44 Sherman Street,
Springfield,
MA. The opening is exactly 145 years to the date of the incorporation of the Study Home. The Study Home is the oldest charitable organization in
Springfield and was originally named The Springfield Home for Friendless Women and Children. It was renamed in the 1940's. Speaking at the event will be
Gary Martinelli, Board President of The Children's Study Home and Mayor Dominic Sarno, Mayor City of Springfield, along with several staff from the
Family
Center.
The new
Family
Center has been designed to meet the changing needs of today's families while developing services and resources to address the stresses placed on parents and children including poverty, unemployment, violence, substance use, and difficulties keeping children safe and healthy. Several family oriented programs of the Study Home will now be administered out of the new center.
