Protect Your Family from Lead Poisoning

Beyonca Twiggs • October 16, 2025

Join our free community events in Springfield or Holyoke to learn simple steps for a lead-safe home.

Every child deserves a safe and healthy home. Yet, lead poisoning remains a hidden danger in many Massachusetts homes. The good news? Lead poisoning is preventable, and there are steps you can take to protect your family.


To help families learn how to spot and prevent lead hazards, we’re hosting two free community events on Lead Poisoning Prevention this fall. These interactive evenings are designed to empower parents, caregivers, and community members with the knowledge and resources to keep children safe.


What You’ll Learn

At these sessions, you’ll discover:

  • How to recognize common sources of lead in homes and neighborhoods
  • Practical, everyday steps to prevent exposure
  • Local programs and services that can help you reduce risks


You’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions, connect with local partners, and take home useful materials.


Family-Friendly and Fun

Bring the kids! Both events will include fun activities for children and light refreshments for all attendees.


Whether you attend in Springfield or Holyoke, you’ll receive the same valuable information, so pick the date and location that works best for your family!
