☔Rainy skies & bright futures filled our weekend here at UMassFive🌈
What started as a last-minute move indoors turned into an incredible Family Fun Fest at our Hadley Branch location this past Saturday filled with laughter, financial literacy, and of course some delicious treats.

While the future may be tough to guarantee, a little preparation can help turn any rainy day into an opportunity to learn and grow and we're so thankful for our staff volunteers who pivoted to make it a memorable day despite the weather, as well as to The Happy Facepainter for joining us in our community room.

If you joined us with your family drop your Fun Fest photos in the comments and share what you'd like to see next year! ⭐⤵⤵

CISA is incredibly grateful to have the support of UMassFive College Credit Union in our work with local farms.

UMassFive College Credit Union is community-centered and people-focused; they are a credit union that works for you, not big shareholders.

You can become a member of UMassFive when you support CISA! UMassFive can help you set up your membership, and in turn, you’ll be helping local farms thrive for years to come.

We are so appreciative of this partnership that supports the local food and farming economy in the Valley.

Thank you, UMassFive College Credit Union, for endorsing CISA and for all that you do to support area farms!
