Today we are once again getting involved.
Because it’s the last days of Foster Care Awareness Month, and right at the base of Mt. Tom there’s an innovative model that’s introducing a neighborhood of care for folx of all ages. The Treehouse Foundation has built a community in Easthampton that seeks to blend the lives of seniors, children in foster care, and their families in one vision of support and growth. We head to their community center to talk with residents Sue Brow, Suzy Jubinville and Lynn Muth, along with Executive Director Erica Kuester to hear how this intergenerational framework is beneficial for all.
And, our weekly chat with Rep. Jim McGovern is still bearing scorch marks from his fiery speech on the House floor. So our conversation explores the lack of a war powers resolution, the looming issues in Cuba, the impact loyalty to the oval office could have on midterms, the farm bill’s impact on small farms and SNAP and a whole lot more.
