On September 29, 2026, Empower Children for Success (ECFS) hosted a successful hygiene product distribution event at the Highland Food Pantry in Fitchburg.

Essential personal care products such as soap, dental hygiene items, and household essentials are critical for health and well-being, yet they cannot be purchased with SNAP benefits. Thanks to our community support, ECFS was able to serve 127 families, reaching 378 total household members with essential hygiene supplies alongside their emergency food assistance.

A heartfelt THANK YOU to our dedicated volunteers such as Chris MacLean, Martha Hawkins, and Adela Cintron for their hard work, warm smiles, and steadfast commitment to serving our neighbors with dignity!

Together, we are making a meaningful difference in the lives of children and families across North Central Massachusetts.
