Families First: Emergency Support for Special Needs Families

Empowering families with urgent financial assistance, practical resources, and compassionate support when they need it most.

Families First goes beyond support—it’s about empowerment. We help families feel seen, heard, and equipped to face the unique challenges of raising children with special needs. Through this campaign, we provide emergency financial assistance, practical resources, and compassionate support to families in times of urgent need. Our goal is to reduce stress, foster resilience, and help families approach each day with renewed confidence.

Based in Berkshire County, we are dedicated to supporting families of individuals with developmental disabilities by addressing immediate and unexpected challenges. Our team connects families with vital resources, reduces feelings of isolation, and builds a sense of unity. By providing timely emergency assistance, we strive to create lasting positive change and empower families like ours.

As Margaret Mead once said, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”
