The MutualOne Charitable Foundation has awarded $2,500 to Jeff’s Place Children’s Bereavement Center in Framingham. The grant will support an additional Kid’s Club session focused on children between the ages of 3 and 7 who have experienced a traumatic loss in their lives.
Last year Jeff’s Place added a second Kid’s Club session in part thanks to support from the MutualOne Charitable Foundation, according to Executive Director David Sternburg.
“This demographic remains our fastest growing segment,” Sternburg said. “We need the third group session to serve families with younger children who are currently on our wait list.”
“These children are at a particularly delicate age for understanding and coping with traumatic loss,” said Steven M. Sousa, MutualOne Bank executive vice president and a MutualOne Charitable Foundation trustee. “We are pleased to help Jeff’s Place and the Kid’s Club program provide hope and healing.”
As part of our partnership with A World For Good, we are highlighting the important work of local nonprofit organizations in our community.
Currently, we are featuring United Way of Tri-County, an organization that invests in health, education, financial stability and basic human needs in the MetroWest area.
At United Way, they believe everyone deserves the opportunity to become a productive, self-sufficient member of society.

Steven M. Sousa, executive vice president and chief operating officer of MutualOne Bank and a MutualOne Charitable Foundation trustee, announced that the Foundation has awarded a $7,500 grant to A Place To Turn.
Located in Natick, A Place To Turn assists low-income MetroWest families and individuals with basic needs of food and clothing. The MutualOne award will provide funding for A Place To Turn’s “Eat Fresh” program that offers clients fresh fruits and vegetables in addition to routine food pantry items. This is the seventh consecutive year that the MutualOne Charitable Foundation has contributed to the “Eat Fresh” program, according to A Place to Turn Executive Director Joanne Barry.
“This is a time-tested program that takes traditional food pantry selections to a fresher, healthier level,” said Sousa.” We are happy to help.”
We have partnered with A World for Good to shine a light on some of the amazing nonprofit organizations serving our community.
First up is the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metrowest (BGCMW), one of the largest Boys & Girls Club organizations in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts serving the communities surrounding Marlborough, Hudson, and Framingham.
