SPRINGFIELD, Mass. — Springfield Together today thanked Thomas Rooke, owner of Cannabis Huts in West Springfield and Hassle Free Home Buyers, for a donation supporting the organization's community programming.
"Mr. Rooke has encouraged Springfield Together for some time now, and today he continued to do so in the form of financial support with his donation to our organization. We appreciate all of our volunteers, supporters, and contributors. We are excited to continue organizing events, camps, and community gatherings to bring the people of this fine city together."
— Neil Phillips, Springfield Together
The gift supports general operations, the flexible funding that keeps programs running between grant cycles. Springfield Together expects to direct it toward seasonal efforts including the organization's holiday meal program and Shop with a Cop, along with other community projects scheduled through the end of the year.
Rooke's donation arrives as Springfield Together expands its capacity to accept community support. The organization now accepts online contributions at springfieldtogether.org, making it possible for residents and local businesses to give directly for the first time.
