Mission: Founded in 1995 with support from First Connections and the Justice Resource Institute, strengthening the surrounding community is central to Acton-Boxborough Family Network's mission. ABFN aims to connect families with each other and with the numerous local resources. To this end, the organization fosters communication and interaction amongst its members and many social and wellness groups, including the towns’ Health Departments, Acton Community Supper and Food Pantry, Household Goods, Acton-Boxborough United Way, Danny’s Place, parent-teacher organizations, early childhood education professionals, and more. ABFN’s members support and benefit from these close community connections.
Results: In the past year (2015-2016), Acton-Boxborough Family Network has served over 200 member families and an additional 250 non-member families through more than 100 events. ABFN membership enables the entire family to participate in the many ABFN-sponsored events throughout the year: seasonal parties, monthly story hours and craft hours, community service activities, babysitting co-ops, family outings, book group, playgroups, educational seminars, moms' and dads' nights out, and more. Members also receive a bimonthly newsletter, discounts at local businesses, and access to ABFN’s online forums and classifieds. ABFN offers reduced or waived membership fees for financial hardship.
