The United Arc offers resources and support to grandparents raising their grandchildren as well as other relatives raising a family member. Thanks to a grant from Lifepath, Inc., we offer twice monthly meetings, home visits and check in calls to grandparents living in Franklin County. We serve as a resource for families and provide regular activities and get togethers for grandparents and their grandchildren. We are affiliated with the Commission on the Status of Grandparents Raising their Grandchildren, a state agency whose mission is to support the growing number of grandparents in Massachusetts who are caring for their grandchildren. This program is funded through the federal Executive Office of Elder Affairs (EOEA). For information about meeting times and resources please call us at 413-774-5558.
