In The Western Mass. Business Show
“Bueno Bob” also known as Bob Lowry has made quite the name for himself since opening the first Bueno y Sano (Good & Healthy) in Amherst in 1995. Bob has been working on making a great product better thru employing hard working employees (95% of them from El Salvador), using fresh products, and putting family first in business decisions (his brother, his sister, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, and more are involved in operations). Tune in as we discover some interesting unknown facts about Bob and his feelings about life and how to be in community for the benefit of others. A true gem of WMA, we are lucky to have Bob in the 413. Join us to celebrate a local hero.

BEHIND THE WALL THERE IS HOPE
To understand the healing and opportunity behind the wall in the Franklin County Jail in Massachusetts, one must only sit with those who are serving time despite their confinement. The Franklin County Jail may be a rural jail, but the programs for the incarcerated men and women, whether they be serving short- or long-term sentences, offer stability, connection and a pathway to a brighter future when they return to the community. It takes a village of compassionate and educated individuals to ensure that the various programs within the jail are offered to the incarcerated population based on the needs of the incarcerated individual to assist in their recovery and forward movement before reentering the community.
