The MutualOne Charitable Foundation has awarded $2,500 to Jeff’s Place Children’s Bereavement Center in Framingham. The grant will support an additional Kid’s Club session focused on children between the ages of 3 and 7 who have experienced a traumatic loss in their lives.
Last year Jeff’s Place added a second Kid’s Club session in part thanks to support from the MutualOne Charitable Foundation, according to Executive Director David Sternburg.

“These children are at a particularly delicate age for understanding and coping with traumatic loss,” said Steven M. Sousa, MutualOne Bank executive vice president and a MutualOne Charitable Foundation trustee. “We are pleased to help Jeff’s Place and the Kid’s Club program provide hope and healing.”
