The Cambridge Families Action Network was founded during the 2024-2025 school year by a group of families at Peabody Elementary School in Cambridge who became concerned that the existing caregiver groups were exclusionary, inaccessible, and unrepresentative of the broader school community. The Network provides mutual aid through food and clothing distribution, immigration support, resource sharing, bicycle drive, and other forms of direct community support. We host regular meetings and include members from every elementary school in Cambridge Public Schools.

we are funded by a grant from the global woman impact fund and operate under our fiscal partner, MRCC.
