Fall River Extends Supportive Hands (F.R.E.S.H.), a newly established youth leadership group, organized a car wash on July 7, 2007, at Robert's House of Formals II located on the corner of Mariano Bishop Blvd. and Tucker St. Funds raised by the event were designated to assist with expenses for an upcoming trip to Six Flags, a celebration of the hard work that these youth put in for Mayor's Youth Forum V and the America's Promise Presentation. In addition, the youth are planning several events during the summer and into the school year, and any additional funds will be utilized to support these endeavors. FRESH is the America's Promise team that is challenging the city to support youth through five promises. For more information contact Fall River Youth Services Coordinator and Co-Chair of the Healthy Youth Task Force Christian McCloskey at 508-324-2419.
