Coronavirus Update for Individuals and Families on behalf of Commissioner Jane Ryder

Advocates, a Framingham-based nonprofit provider of services to individuals with challenges, this week announced that its Fred Gaspari Fund for Families has awarded $7,100 in grants to 15 families to help them care for a family member with an intellectual or developmental disability.

The Framingham-based Autism Alliance, a program of Advocates, announced “exciting progress” to its Autism Welcoming Community Initiative.
