The Western Massachusetts Correctional Alcohol Center

Honoring Past Colleagues

 

We are privileged to donate this year’s contributions in memory of those Sheriff’s Department employees and retirees who passed away this year.

 

These “leaders” have touched the lives of inmates as well as colleagues.  With their passing, we have lost many a leader, mentor and good friend.    We have great memories.  We would like those memories to continue. 

 

Founded in 1994, Griffin’s Friends has worked to bring “moments of joy to courageous kids”.  They have funded special trips, parties, diversion and recreational activities to many patients and families.  As a result of the commitment and great work of Griffin’s Friends, many children and families have been touched.  This contribution would honor our colleagues.
