ROCKLAND, MA – March 6, 2025 – The Rockland Trust Charitable Foundation announces a $90,000 grant to FamilyAid to help families throughout Massachusetts find and maintain housing. The grant will enable FamilyAid to provide education and support to nearly 4,500 children and parents as part of its mission to end family homelessness.
“We are incredibly grateful to Rockland Trust Charitable Foundation for their continued partnership and this generous grant, which will provide critical resources to sustain and expand our work,” said FamilyAid President & CEO Larry Seamans. “This support will ensure families facing homelessness have the stability and opportunities they need to get back on their feet quickly.”
FamilyAid’s 2-generational approach to addressing family homelessness–which this grant will support–provides wrap-around services to strengthen and support children and parents in every aspect of life. While most programs for homeless families focus either on children or parents, FamilyAid’s innovative program ensures that all family members have the resources and tools they need to be successful and self-sufficient in the long term.
“Homelessness remains a pressing challenge in Massachusetts, affecting far too many individuals and families," said Andrea Borowiecki, Vice President of Charitable Giving and Community Engagement at Rockland Trust, and Executive Director of the Rockland Trust Charitable Foundation. "We are proud to partner with FamilyAid, one of the area’s leading nonprofits, to support comprehensive, life-changing services that will help vulnerable families regain their footing and build brighter, more self-sufficient futures."
This winter, Rockland Trust colleagues came together to help FamilyAid prepare supplies and spaces for newly enrolled children and parents.
