Yesterday the North Central Massachusetts Association of REALTORS® hosted their annual Fill-A-Cruiser event, and we were honored to help this event take place.

Officer Sumner was set up at Market Basket in Athol, collecting donations to help stock local food pantries. Everything received was split between the Athol and Templeton food pantries, helping families right here in our amazing communities.

Thank you all so much, because of your generosity, a total of 28 boxes were collected and distributed where they’re needed most.

🚨 Athol Public Safety Presents: “Arrive Alive” 🚨

As graduation and the summer season approach, Athol Public Safety is committed to helping develop safer teen drivers in our community.

📅 Friday, May 1, 2026
⏰ 12:30 PM
📍 Athol High School

This important event is a collaborative effort between Athol Fire Department, Athol Police Department, Massachusetts State Police, Phillipston Fire Department, UMass LifeFlight, and Mack Family Funeral Homes.

The program will feature a mock crash scenario using real crashed vehicles, with student participants acting out roles as crash victims to demonstrate the real-life consequences of unsafe driving.

⚠️ Please Note:
If you see a large emergency response presence or unusual activity in the area, this is part of a planned training exercise only.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Parents and guardians are strongly encouraged to attend. This is a valuable opportunity to reinforce the importance of safe driving habits and to continue meaningful conversations with your teens about driving laws and responsibilities.

Together, we can help keep our young drivers, and our community, safe. 🚗💙
