Seven Hills Foundation Welcomes Children's Aid & Family Service as New Affiliate
October 2006, Worcester, MA: Seven Hills Foundation, a non-profit provider of healthcare, educational, rehabilitation, vocational, and human and social services to 21,000 individuals annually has announced that Children’s Aid & Family Service (CAFS) of Fitchburg is joining the organization as a new Affiliate.
Children’s Aid & Family Service has been providing child care, social, and mental health services to income-eligible families in the greater Fitchburg/Leominster area for 130 years. As an Affiliate of Seven Hills Foundation, CAFS will continue to serve the community with its unique and innovative programs assisting families that are striving to achieve self-sufficiency through a successful life/work balance.
Dr. David A. Jordan, President & CEO of Seven Hills Foundation, emphasized the importance of continuing Children’s Aid & Family Service’s active involvement in the Fitchburg/Leominster communities. “We are honored to have aligned with such a distinguished affiliate partner in the presence of Children’s Aid. Our intent is to assist their child day care, mental health counseling, and related services grow and prosper in concert with the desires and needs of this very unique and vibrant community.”
David Rodgers, Vice Chairman of the Board at CAFS agreed with Dr. Jordan noting that the overriding goal of the Board was to protect the integrity of care offered to children, adults, and families of the greater Fitchburg/Leominster community and to ensure that Children’s Aid employees would be supported by a new parent agency. “Our decision to affiliate with Seven Hills Foundation met all of our goals. It’s a triple win proposition for Children’s Aid, Seven Hills Foundation, and the children and staff to whom we are so dedicated”.
Jeanne Antonucci, Board Chair of Children’s Aid & Family Service acknowledged the benefits that the affiliation would provide for the future growth of CAFS. “We are all quite excited about our anticipated affiliation with Seven Hills Foundation. In an era of declining state revenues and increasing operating expenses, organizational affiliations are becoming even more commonplace. This is particularly true in the health and human service sector.”
Seven Hills Foundation, one of the largest human services providers in the Commonwealth, employs 1800 people at more than 140 program sites across Massachusetts, including the Cape and Islands. This affiliation provides both organizations with a strategic alliance that expands programming for the benefit of children and adults in Central Massachusetts.
