East Brookfield, Massachusetts
Community Organizations
In a town of 2,224, the community institutions are not a garnish on civic life, they are load-bearing: the library the town bought for itself, the Senior Center, and the local papers that still send a reporter to Town Meeting. Every one of them takes volunteers or readers.
