Adults with developmental disabilities from the Charles River Center in Needham visit animal welfare nonprofit Greyhound Friends in Hopkinton every Tuesday morning as part of the Center’s Opportunities & Visions program.

The group volunteers their time to perform a variety of chores to assist Greyhound Friends with the maintenance and the operation of the kennel. It’s truly a win-win situation for both charities.

The Charles River Center is a nonprofit social service agency that has been providing advocacy and a variety of services to children and adults with developmental disabilities and their families since 1956. Greyhound Friends Inc. is a small non-profit organization dedicated to saving racetrack greyhounds and placing them in responsible loving homes. Visit www.greyhound.org for more information.
