The Friends of Winchester Recreation and Community Services, Inc. 501c(3) is back in action. After a brief hiatus, the organization has returned with renewed vigor.
One of the primary goals of The Friends of Winchester Recreation and Community Services is to help support the town’s Recreation Department facilities and programming. The nonprofit envisions a comprehensive upgrade of local parks, playgrounds, and sports fields, ensuring that they are safe, accessible, and enjoyable for everyone. The addition of a “3rd Space” for teens is also a priority.
The Friends of Winchester Recreation and Community Services recognize the importance of collaboration in achieving their goals. They intend to work closely with local government, businesses, and other community organizations to pool resources and expertise.
By building strong partnerships, they aim to support a sustainable model for recreational services and facilities that will benefit Winchester for years to come. The Friends are happy to continue their partnership with Kids’ Connection Parent Advisory Committee.
