State Senator Sal DiDomenico joined the Massachusetts Alliance of Portuguese Speakers (MAPS) in Everett to tour their new office, which is almost ready to be opened. Senator DiDomenico said, “I am proud to support this fantastic organization and am excited to see how this new location will help them expand health and social services to the Portuguese-speaking community. I want to thank Paulo Pinto, the MAPS Chief Executive Officer, for inviting to me to their new office and all the MAPS employees who work tirelessly to improve lives for people throughout our communities.”
MAPS was created in 1993 and their goal is to improve the lives of Portuguese speakers in Massachusetts and help them become contributing, active participants in American society while maintaining a strong ethnic identity and a sense of community.
