In response to the Coronavirus Pandemic, we have begun Canasta Solidaria (Solidarity Basket). Throughout the summer, we gave culturally appropriate groceries to over 500 families in Framingham & Milford. During early fall, we've taken a break to find a new location and more funding. Canasta restarted in Milford on October 24th and will restart in Framingham on November 21st. We estimate that this will cost about $10,000 every time we distribute. With your support, we can make that happen! Thank you to all who have already donated. There are two ways to donate:
Donate on our PayPal page to the "Canasta Solidaridad" Fund
Send a check to Metrowest Worker Center with "Canasta" in the memo line; PO Box 409, Framingham, MA 01704
If you or someone you know is in need, please call us at 508-848-0560 and leave your name & telephone number and we'll be sure to call you back. Or email us at casa@mwc-casa.org. ¡Gracias! Thank you! Obrigado!
Thank you to the Cummings Foundation for their generous 2022 grant, allowing us to expand access to legal services for workers in the Metrowest area.
