Nossas feiras de recursos reúnem organizações locais, empresas e membros da comunidade para fornecer serviços, informações e suporte valiosos. Esses eventos oferecem oportunidades para organizações se tornarem fornecedoras, patrocinadoras ou voluntárias, permitindo que elas se conectem diretamente com a comunidade. Ao exibir recursos e serviços disponíveis, pretendemos capacitar indivíduos e famílias com as ferramentas de que precisam para prosperar.

Looking for Dedicated Volunteers🙃

Annual Braids & Haircuts Back-to-School

​🎒 Back-to-School Annual Initiative

Each year, Western Mass Care Solutions proudly leads a Back-to-School Initiative that brings together community partners, volunteers, and sponsors to uplift families and ensure students return to school feeling confident, prepared, and supported.

 

This initiative features two major events each August, including our signature Back-to-School Braids & Haircuts Event, hosted in partnership with Precise Cuts on Main Street in Springfield. With their continued collaboration, we provide free haircuts, braids, backpacks, school supplies, food, music, and more to local students.

 

The first event—a community fundraiser and BBQ—helps gather the supplies and resources distributed at the main event at the end of August. Our mission is to remove barriers, foster dignity, and connect families with year-round support services through a welcoming, joyful experience.

 

With the help of community sponsors, partners like Precise Cuts, and passionate volunteers, we work together to #MakeItHappen and give every child a strong start to the school year.

See You In August 2026!
