Join us as we hear from Robin Bialecki ED of the Easthampton Community Center about her dedicated approach to helping the community meet its needs. Under her leadership (since 2008) the ECC has grown to helping all four counties reach the gaps that they have in their respective needs. From food insecurity, housing, job loss, relocation, and more, the ECC has risen to the level that the clients demand (open 7 days). Robin and her team have a hard time saying no and as a result have steadily increased their capacity to serve more and more clients for over 46 years. As one of the only gluten and allergy free pantries in WMA they get many requests for food specific and sensitive care products. Robin gets this done through her over 200 volunteer staff that help throughout the year, including Pat Brough, Sales and Marketing Director for Finck & Perras Insurance. 10 years ago, he helped co-create the much beloved event Give Em the Bird 5K which is a benefit for the ECC. In 2015, they raised 10,000 and they now hope to raise more than 35,000 this year. With over 55 sponsors, I think they have a shot at having their best year ever.

Join us as we welcome Andre Boulay to the show. Many know him from his A2Z fame while others may know him as a Yo-Yo champion. Growing up in the Hilltowns of the 413, Andre always saw Northampton as the place to be. It led him to the store and to Jack and Priscilla Finn who started the store many years before it moved to King Street in Thornes Market. There he and his wife Dev realized that their passion could become a reality and they purchased the store from the Finn's. Now 2 businesses yoyoexpert.com and a2zscience.com they are going strong. Pierce and Ella (their 2 kids) are the envy of other children I'm sure but the Boulays make sure to keep community in their focus as they give back to many nonprofits and school PTO fundraisers. Thank you for coming on Andre, we missed you Dev.
It was an honor to talk to Keith Fairey about housing, poverty, privilege, discrimination, and more. His many years in the field of housing and poverty has given him a good grip on how to address the challenges that exist and it comes down to collaboration and truth. Housing has finally become an above the fold issue for many and the public will has shifted to want to do more about this problem. If we work on housing people first we can then work on other issues that they face. Join us to learn more about Keith, Wayfinders, and housing issues in the 413 and beyond.
