JFS of Metrowest proudly participated in the vibrant Adult Resource Fair, held in the heart of Downtown Framingham Common. This remarkable event, the fourth of its kind hosted by The MetroWest Care Connection, brought together 35 dedicated community partners, each eager to make a positive impact.
The fair was a bustling hub of activity, where attendees had the opportunity to access a wealth of valuable resources. Participating agencies provided essential education and health services, alongside complimentary haircuts and nail treatments that added a touch of self-care to the day. Visitors were also able to gather hygiene products and receive free COVID-19 and flu vaccinations, all without cost or the need for insurance, ensuring that everyone could benefit.
