This fall, after patching leaks for too many years, the Brick House Community Resource Center finally replaced the main roof on our historic downtown Turners Falls firehouse.
Under the Brick House’s roof you can find a busy and engaging teen center, a wide range of services for families including access to food and parenting resources, and affordable rental space for classes, activities, and meetings which enrich the community.

Much of our day-to-day programming is supported by state and local grants, but to cover the mortgage and maintenance of the building itself, we rely entirely on public donations from friends and supporters like you. The decision to replace our roof before weathering another winter meant an out-of-pocket expense of just over $12,000 for the organization, and we need to pass the hat to replenish our rainy-day fund.
