Dedham Savings Community Foundation Supports Jewish Family & Children’s Services

The Dedham Savings Community Foundation has awarded a grant to Jewish Family & Children’s Services (JF&CS). The funds will be used for improvements and renovations to the building that houses their day and employment programs for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Canton. In addition to creating a safe and attractive space for current and future clients, the repairs will also help JF&CS attract more clients to their programs.

ABOUT DEDHAM SAVINGS COMMUNITY FOUNDATION

The Dedham Savings Community Foundation was formed by Dedham Savings for the purpose of funding requests from community organizations which provide services to the communities that they serve. These communities generally, but not exclusively, include Dedham, Needham, Norwood, Sharon, South Boston, Walpole, and Westwood.  Typical requests are usually received from such organizations as schools, libraries, family service organizations and non-profit organizations. The Trustees of the Foundation will accept grant requests from community organizations and make awards twice a year.
