Make A Difference Day

Maybe it’s a day of picking up some litter, maybe you volunteer time to help fix up a building through carpentry or painting, or maybe you present events, crafts, and informational displays.  It really doesn’t matter what you do as long as you do something for your community. For the past 9 years the Plouffe School has been the location for Make A Difference Day in Brockton.  A day of “Neighbors Helping Neighbors”.

Community building takes partnerships, philanthropists, and leadership.  In 1998 The Plymouth County DA’s Office helped organize and found the Plymouth County Children’s’ Advocacy Center and since that time has assisted over 3,000 children in our area.  Through the joint effort of the DAs Office, the philanthropy of Jack Conway, and the resources of BAMSI a new larger dedicated location was built for our youth.
