In observance of Juneteenth, our offices will be closed today.

Today, we join together to celebrate Juneteenth—a day of profound historical significance, reflection, and celebration of Black resilience, culture, and freedom.

True to our mission at New Bedford Family Resource Center, we remain committed to the principles of Honor, Unity, and Rise. We honor the past, foster unity in our community today, and work together to ensure everyone has the opportunity to rise and thrive.

Happy Juneteenth! ❤️💛💚
