Multicultural Resource Center of Massachusetts (MRC)

We are reopening soon!

REOPENING

The COVID-19 pandemic has been a very challenging time for all of us. Many of you have been forced to wait for some of our services, and we deeply appreciate your understanding while we kept our office closed to help control the spread of the virus. We are happy to inform you that we are planning to reopen our office on Tuesday, June 15, 2021. We will be scheduling appointments in advance and are excited about all of the positive changes that we have made to ensure your safety. Our team has been working diligently to prepare for our reopening. We look forward to seeing you soon!
