SouthCoast Voices – Fall River

On Thursday, September 3rd from 5-7 PM, the SouthCoast Empowered by Equity Data (SEED) Initiative is hosting a SouthCoast Voices session at the Family Resource Center (101 Rock Street, Fall River, MA 02720).

SouthCoast Voices aims to better understand the needs and experiences of individuals living in the SouthCoast region.

Adult residents are invited to participate in this study which is being conducted by UMass Boston’s Center for Women in Politics and Public Policy in collaboration with the Women’s Fund SouthCoast.

We want to hear from residents about the essentials needed to live with stability in Gateway Cities in SouthCoast Massachusetts.

During each session, participants will be invited to prepare and share a meal, followed by a facilitated group discussion lasting approximately 2 hours. Participants will be asked to complete a brief voluntary survey on their backgrounds after the session.

We will make accessibility accommodations requested to the best of our ability. Participants will receive a $50 grocery card.
