LUK, Inc. Receives United Way of North Central MA Grant Funding to Support Behavioral Health

FITCHBURG — United Way of North Central Massachusetts (UWNCM) recently distributed $378,152 in grant funding to 25 local agencies as part of its commitment to being at the forefront of addressing critical needs of local young people. Funds were disbursed through two grant programs supporting after- and out-of-school time activities and youth mental and behavioral health services.

LUK, Inc. is using this United Way grant funding to help provide free behavioral support services to marginalized youth.

“LUK is so grateful for the partnership with UWNCM to offer free behavioral health support for those youth where there is a gap in health insurance or accessing health insurance could be detrimental to safety or security,” said Beth Barto, president and CEO at LUK, Inc. “We believe this support is essential for young people to bravely reach out for support and thank those who supported UWNCM for prioritizing behavioral health in our community.”
