CHICOPEE, Mass. (WWLP) – A special visit Thursday to our 22News studios from a local organization dedicated to helping our youth.
Springfield-based non-profit, I Found Light Against All Odds, stopped by to thank 22News for supporting their mission and message for the last five years. The organization has been dedicated to assisting local young people with social, emotional, and economic issues that they are experiencing in their lives, in addition to various fundraising events.
Founder and CEO Stefan Davis told 22News what our coverage has meant to them, “22News, it’s your anniversary. Our fifth year anniversary was last year in 2022. We felt that over the years, 22News has been a prime supporter of I Found Light Against All Odds. And now, I Found Light Against All Odds Light House for homeless girls. Through thick and through thin, through pandemics… through everything.”
