Friends of Aine is proud to announce that we were selected for the Your Choice Fidelity Care Project Grant. With the help of Boston Cares and Fidelity Investments employees, over 1,600 snack bags were packed for the children who attend our programs. Many of our programs run around meal time and these snack bags provide comfort and nourishment to children as they navigate their grief journeys.
