Founded in 2020 by Julie McDonald, the Juniper Outreach Foundation is a local non-profit organization that establishes and stocks in-school pantries with the mission of helping provide food, clothing and basic necessities for local families in need. Through partnerships with local employers like Consigli, the Juniper Outreach Foundation is able to provide students served by Massachusetts public schools with critically important resources to help support efforts to combat food insecurity.

“The Juniper Outreach Foundation makes a real, tangible impact on local families to help ensure that no child goes home hungry, and Consigli has been proud to be an early partner in its meaningful work,” said Michael Fales, Chief Human Resources Officer at Consigli Construction Co., Inc. “As an employer with deep roots in Central Massachusetts, Consigli has long been committed to giving back to the communities where many of our employees live, work and build, and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to deepen our partnership with the Juniper Outreach Foundation and help advance their impactful mission.”

Consigli and the Consigli Foundation first partnered with the Juniper Outreach Foundation in 2023 to donate the time, materials and labor required to renovate a supply closet and transform it into an in-school food pantry at City View Discovery School in Worcester that allows students to receive necessities in a safe and welcoming place. Since then, Consigli and its employees have built on their support of the Juniper Outreach Foundation’s impactful work through additional partnerships and volunteer initiatives.

“We are thrilled to welcome Michael Fales to our Board of Directors, further strengthening our partnership with Consigli Construction, a company that has been an incredible supporter of our mission,” said Julie McDonald, Founder and Executive Director of the Juniper Outreach Foundation. “Mike’s dedication to community impact, combined with Consigli’s ongoing commitment to giving back, makes him an invaluable addition to our team. We look forward to the expertise and passion he brings as we continue expanding access to food for those most in need. We are deeply grateful for Consigli’s unwavering support in the fight against childhood food insecurity right here in our own community.”

Consigli Project Executive Jody Staruk joins the board at Girls Inc. after two years volunteering for the organization’s Eureka! Program. The Consigli Foundation sponsors the 5-year program that exposes high-school-age members of Girls Inc. to a year-round intensive STEM program that engages and empowers girls as they discover opportunities in STEM fields. As part of the program Staruk has toured girls on her job sites to see the roles that women are playing on construction projects. “I love the organization’s mission helping girls be strong, smart and bold,” said Staruk.  “A lot of the women I work with embody this, and I love being able to help the next generation of women be that and also expose them to STEM-based careers.”

“Girls Inc. of Worcester is honored to elect Pam Daly as the Board President and Jody Staruk as a member of the Board of Directors,” said Girls Inc. CEO Victoria Waterman. “Pam and Jody have successfully demonstrated how to be strong, smart and bold leaders in male dominated positions in a male dominated industry.  Thanks to the support of organizations like Consigli and strong women role models like Pam and Jody, I believe the future is bright for the young women in our community!”
