Spotlight: Community Health Work
Pictured Above: Our final winter community vaccination clinic to expand access to this year's COVID and Flu immunizations. During this event, we were also able to continue our work helping community members to receive and renew coverage through Mass Health - the states' Medicaid. Casa is able to employ a Community Health Worker to connect families with the insurance they need, and educate them about the health insurance system thanks to grant support from the MetroWest Health Foundation! We are also able to connect families in the immigrant community with healthcare providers as part of the project. Read more here!
Seeking to Streamline and and Protect the Longevity of our Sucessful Canasta Solidaria (solidarity basket).
Throughought the winter, we continued to distribute culturally appropriate groceries to over 500 families in Framingham & Milford. It's been a challenge to continue funding the effort, so we are currently in a planning stage with our Cooperativa Buen Esperanza searching for more funding, improving infrastructure, and very importantly, expanding our networks with other worker cooperative efforts engaging in food distribution!
In the meantime, every monetary contribution counts! We estimate that these efforts cost about $15,000 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:
