Springfield nonprofit host outdoor Fun Field Day

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno and Christina’s House kicked off the summer with an outdoor Fun Field Day event.

Children and their families gathered at Sweeney Field at the High School of Commerce for a day full of fun. This community outdoor event featured several activities for all ages like face painting, music, arts and crafts, field-day games, a fire truck and snacks. The executive director of the nonprofit organization Christina’s House told 22News that it’s important to give back to the community.

Carolyn Martinez, the executive director of Christina’s House said, “We wanted to create an event that shows we are not just good at fundraising but we are also giving back and giving to the community that we love and that loves us just as much, so we wanted to create a day full of fun of family and unity in the community.”

Christina’s House is a ministry that helps meet the housing needs of women and children in our community. Their mission is to educate, embrace, and encourage the families that they serve. It was founded in Springfield in 2012 by Linda Mumblo.
