From Anna Mae O’Shea Brooke –
MCSP’s Path for Hope Walk this Sunday, May 4th 11:30 AM at the Medfield Rail Trail Hosted by the Medfield Coalition for Suicide Prevention
This Mental Health Awareness Month of May, come walk with us as we build community, raise awareness, and honor those impacted by suicide. Path for Hope is more than just a walk; it’s a walk to foster community, connection and hope. It’s a show of support, a step toward healing, and a reminder that no one should walk alone in their struggles.
Sponsored by MCSP, a community-led coalition administered by Medfield Outreach, the Town of Medfield’s social service department. The mission of MCSP is to promote the mental health and emotional well-being of all community members. The vision of MCSP is to build a community where suicide, self-harm, and stigma have been replaced by hope, self-care, and acceptance.

MFi Youth Leadership Program Now Accepting Grant Applications
The Medfield Foundation Youth Leadership Program is now accepting applications for its 2025 Grant Program. Up to $1,000 in funding will be awarded, which may be awarded in full or divided among multiple recipients. Applicants are welcome to learn more about the grant process and to submit a grant request at https://forms.gle/y9Yy9svXdJAFdsEw7 by April 30th.
Just as the Medfield Foundation has its Legacy Fund endowment and its Pitch It! Grant Program, the MFi youth leaders team raised $1,000 in the fall of 2024 to award in its own process. The Youth Leadership Grant Program is our call for any and all ideas that will enrich the lives of those who call Medfield home. The youth leaders will review the applications, ask questions, interview the applicants, conduct site visits, and make final presentations to their youth leader teammates before voting on and selecting the winner(s). Funding decisions will be communicated to winners by May 30th.
Founded in 2014 by the Medfield Foundation Inc. (MFi), the MFi Youth Leadership program empowers high school students with a sense of philanthropy and volunteerism to take action in their community. From an early age, the town’s youngest residents have opportunities to make a difference in their community. Those opportunities continue to grow as children come of age in our town. The Medfield Foundation is responsible for many local fundraising initiatives. As part of its commitment to community involvement, MFi created this program where high school students could take that philanthropic spirit, run with it and gain leadership experience in the process. Our youth leaders support one of the Medfield Foundation’s largest signature events, The MFi Angel Run, in the fall. It provides a perfect opportunity to get involved and gain a deeper understanding of what it takes to plan and manage a fundraising event. Then the winter/spring programming focuses on the grant process, including how to solicit proposals and how to review and award grants.

From Jackie Alford of Sustainable Medfield –
Sustainable Medfield Announces Action of the 2nd Quarter 2025
Reject Fast Fashion: Refuse/Reduce/Reuse/Recycle
Sustainable Medfield is pleased to announce that its Action of the Quarter is Reject Fast Fashion: Refuse/ Reduce/ Reuse/ Recycle.
Sustainable Medfield works to amplify and elevate messages of its partner organizations to educate residents on issues related to sustainability. We work with TSARC (Transfer Station and Recycling Center), Medfield Environment Action, Medfield High School’s Environmental Club, and other local groups. Our goal is to share ideas on ways to educate the public about the humanitarian cost of Fast Fashion consumerism and the impact of excessive clothing waste on the planet, and to give suggestions on what individuals can do about it. Join other town residents to help us spread the word about this under-publicized crisis.
Throughout the quarter, we will promote special presentations, films and events related to Fast Fashion’s detrimental impact on the environment. For weekly tips and updates, follow Sustainable Medfield on Instagram and Facebook. Sustainable Medfield will also host a booth at several upcoming Medfield Community Market days. Stay tuned for dates and please stop by to say hello and learn more about this topic.

Comments Off on Sustainable Medfield’s Action of the 2nd Quarter 2025 = Reject Fast Fashion
I started this blog to share the interesting and useful information that I saw while doing my job as a Medfield select board member. I thought that my fellow Medfield residents would also find that information interesting and useful as well. This blog is my effort to assist in creating a system to push the information out from the Town House to residents. Let me know if you have any thoughts on how it can be done better.
