Each year BVCAP serves over 12,000 families living in Pawtucket, Central Falls, Cumberland, Lincoln and Woonsocket. Our staff of over fifty people reflects the ethnic diversity of our community, enabling us to be sensitive to our clients’ culture and language, and to provide them with the best possible support.
