Woonsocket's Connecting for Children and Families is moving into the public phase of a $1.2 million Beacon of Hope Fundraising Campaign. 

“This campaign is historic because CCF is celebrating 20 years of serving Woonsocket children and families this year. It’s also historic because, through the tremendous generosity and goodwill of so many individuals, foundations and corporations, generations of children will continue to benefit from our award-winning programs," said Terese Curtin, CCF Executive Director.
