FFIMI would like to share an opportunity to make a difference in the life of an incarcerated individual.
MASC (Massachusetts Against Solitary Confinement) is coordinating this pen pal program and this week they received 15 new requests for pen pals from people who are incarcerated! They now have 31 people who are waiting to be pen pals with a volunteer. It’s never easy to be incarcerated, but it is especially hard over the holiday season.
Their goal is to get everyone a match by the end of November.
If you’re interested in learning more, come to their training on Nov 11, 6:00 – 7:00 PM
They ask that you complete the MASC Pen Pal training before they share their pen pal request list with you. If you can’t make the training on Nov 11, let them know and they will work with you individually; however, the best option is to come to the training
If you have any questions, please reach out to MASC volunteer coordinator Hale Powell at hpenergy@verizon.net
