Programs & Missions

WAMS is asking for help with a serious crisis – the needs of hundreds of Haitian families that have been sent to central Massachusetts and are living in hotel and motel rooms.  Some of these families arrived with little more than the clothes they had on – T shirts, shorts, and flip flops.  There are many children.  Some of the mothers are pregnant and due to give birth soon.  The MA Department of Health and Human Services and private and public agencies from various communities are stepping up to provide essentials, and WAMS is part of this collaborative effort. 

The Worcester Area Mission Society's mission is intentionally broad. While our greatest resources are devoted to educational and economic equity, we recognize how many factors impact the achievement of those goals in the communities we serve.
