As we make our way to winter and into a season of gratitude & giving, Resilience Center of Franklin County is excited to announce that we can now accept donations of stock & donor advised funds (DAFs)! A donor advised fund is similar to a savings account, but specific to charitable giving. In a DAF, you can let resources grow, tax-free, and then flow to the charities of your choice, helping institutions like RCFC sustain our work in the community. 💚

Happy November! This month, RCFC will be facilitating the last Self Compassion series of 2026 starting Tuesday, November 17th, at 10am. This group will be held online only.

What a perfect time of year to deepen the practice of self compassion as we enter into the darkest and longest nights. This series will be slightly different from the past, with more open discussion time to hear from each other, ask questions, and share insights.

In addition to a review of the basics of self compassion, we will have new material to explore, soothing practices, soft landings, and intention-setting for the year ahead.

To register for this group, please call the RCFC hotline: (413) 772-0806

As we launch our next Self Compassion Workshop series on November 17th, (see our previous post!), we'd also like to share this updated Support Group schedule with you all!

Please call the RCFC Hotline for more information and/or to register for a group.

Thank you to all the North Quabbin families who visited the RCFC trunk at last night's Community Night Out! More than 1,500 people came through the event!

Were so grateful to the Athol-Royalston Regional School District (ARRSD) for hosting us and all of the wonderful area providers in our region. Every last one of our healthy relationship fortune tellers and DVAM-themed candy went home with someone 🎉

Wishing our community a fun & safe Halloween weekend!💜

Thank you so much to the wonderful artists and community members of Franklin County & beyond who came out to the 2nd RCFC Craft Fair in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM)!

It was a gift to meet so many passionate and supportive people this weekend. Thank you to the City of Greenfield for hosting us on the Common, and to the Greenfield Farmers' Market for welcoming a neighboring event!

Thank you to everyone who supported our survivor memorial garden, as well! We will still be accepting dahlia tubers at our Greenfield office (17 Long Avenue) through the rest of autumn, or you can donate to our Dahlia Drive online at givebutter.com/rcfcma.

DVAM continues for another week, but our hearts are full of the solidarity and awareness you have helped us raise already. 💜
