Greater Haverhill Area Family and Community Resource Guide

Updated October, 2018

This updated version of the Resource Guide is a result of a collaborative effort of Community Action, Inc. (CAI) WIC, Head Start, Family & Community Connections, Family Day Care and the Haverhill Public Schools. The Guide has been published by partners of the Greater Haverhill Coordinated Family and Community Engagement grant. This grant is funded by the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care.

This Guide was originally developed by CAI Head Start staff and parents. It was sponsored by the Head Start Collaboration Project of Massachusetts, funded through the U.S. Administration for Children and Families and the Department of Health and Human Services.

The services and agencies listed in the directory have consistently provided services and crisis intervention for those needing assistance. In some sections we have listed companies or businesses in the area for easy reference for you and it is not an endorsement of those businesses.

This guide is also available online at www.communityactioninc.org 2018
