WillPower Fund At MCS

Empowering adults to thrive through family-style living and personalized care.

Since 2008, the WillPower Foundation has provided nearly half a million dollars in grants to families and individuals with different abilities across Western Massachusetts. Now, a new chapter begins — the WillPower Foundation has become the WillPower Fund at MCS.

This partnership ensures that WillPower’s mission of “helping families when insurance falls short” continues to grow and reach even more people. Together, we’re empowering families with hope, help, and heart.
