Welcome to The Fitz Community Center
Discover What’s Happening This Summer at The Fitz – Pepperell’s Community Hub!
Spring is in full swing at Fitzpatrick Collaborative, your local community center in Pepperell, MA! We’re so grateful for the incredible community support we’ve seen this season.
Our pollinator garden out front got some TLC from Deb and Cheryl with GreenPepperell, and we successfully pulled off our first-ever Town-Wide Yard Sale alongside our Community Bike Sale! We loved seeing neighbors connect, share, and have fun together, and we hope you did too. We are so grateful for the support of our Fitz Team, our AMAZING volunteers, The Bike Connector, and everyone who helped make this day great for Pepperell!
