WAIM www.waimct.org Many members and friends of the First Baptist Church of Mansfield are actively involved with WAIM. W.A.I.M. stands for "Windham Area Interfaith Ministries". WAIM started in the basement of a local church in 1984. The intention of WAIM was to redistribute clothing to area people in need. The original intention has grown to include not only clothing, but furniture, home goods, energy assistance, and special programs throughout the year such as the Back-to-School New Clothes Project, Adopt-a-Family, and the Community Garden. There is a collection container in the conference room for items being donated to WAIM. For more information on services or how to help, call (860) 456-7270.
