Our Future
We are so grateful for the generous support we've received this year from the Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts, the Massachusetts Cultural Council, Florence Bank and individual donors in our community. Our current goal is to add 50 monthly donors at the $10-25 level. These steady donations will provide sustainability for PIC and ensure that we can continue this work long into the future.
