The Flats Community Building

Portuguese American Club, Clube Amor Da Pátria, from 1946 until sold to OneHolyoke CDC in 2018. We assumed stewardship of the building intending to create a community asset for the entire Flats neighborhood. OneHolyoke CDC needs the guidance and active participation of neighbors and supporters who support the goals for the Flats Community Building. We wish to continue the club as a fraternal organization with the mission to empower volunteers to serve the community, solve problems, encourage growth, and promote friendships.

Now we are looking to revitalize the building and continue its use as an affordable community event space. We are seeking community collaborators to help with this project. We are hoping to put together a committee to guide the revitalization effort and future use of the building. We are also seeking volunteers to help with cleaning, organizing, and renovating the space. If you’re interested, please fill out this form: Flats Community Building Revitalization Project

Also, if you would like to offer ideas for how you’d like to see the club used, please fill out this form: Flats Community Building Survey

If you’ve attended events at The Flats Community Building, hosted your own, or even walked past the building and been curious about it, we’d love your help with the project!
