(MASS APPEAL) – On this month’s Community Corner with PeoplesBank, we’re highlighting an organization inspiring girls to be strong, smart and bold.

Girls Inc of the Valley
Girls Inc has launched the Her Future: Our Future campaign, a 5 million dollar campaign to meet the needs of girls in low income communities in our area. This is a major fundraising effort to increase the number of teen girls served by the programs. This includes building a new dynamic state of the art HQ and program center right in Holyoke.
