Our healthy snack delivery program was very successful. All employees enjoyed and appreciated the healthy snacks and drinks. Another benefit of the program was it provided employees the chance to gather and socialize on breaks. — Dracut Water District

The grant is a great opportunity to obtain wellness initiatives for our employees. I just wish we had more space in our buildings, inside and out, to offer up other items. — City of Woburn

The healthy snacks have been very popular and we appreciate the flexibility to repeat the request in the next application. It would be nice if the program had an annual time frame instead of executing it within a few months. — Berkshire Regional Planning Commission

The MIIA Wellness grant provided funding for the North Adams Fire Department and Police to be able to purchase much needed exercise equipment for their gym.

Pittsfield ReCharge Room

ReCharge Room

A clean and calming space for staff to retreat to when they just need some time to catch their breath and take a break from the hustle and bustle of our busy work environments. It includes a massage chair, EAP information, Well Aware program packets, aromatherapy, coloring sheets, and books/magazines. The multi-colored triangles on the wall behind the massage chair are sound-absorbing titles. They hope to add a sound machine in the near future. The mural was painted by one of their high school art teachers.
