Community Involvement

Community involvement is a large part of our program. Throughout the year we participate in and host many community events. One of our biggest events is our annual Back to School Barbecue. Each year we celebrate our anniversary at the beginning of September with a bounce house, music, face painting, games, entertainment and food. This event is open to the community and brings in many visitors.

Other ways we’ve been involved within the community include:

• Being a member of The Chicopee Chamber of Commerce
• Creating holiday cards for the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan
• Collecting Toys-for-Tots for needy families in our area
• Collecting nonperishable foods for Loraine’s Soup Kitchen in Chicopee
• Raising money for The Muscular Dystrophy Association
• Inviting in members of the community to share their talents (i.e. play an instrument)
• Sponsers "The Arbors Kids Clubhouse" for the Springfield Falcons
