A huge thank you to the team from the Boston branch of @CNA_Insurance for always remembering our vulnerable neighbors by running an Operation Sock Drop at their office again this year - with the cold weather settling in, the timing couldn't be better!

Friends is happy to help support Movie Nights at the Southampton Emergency Shelter. People experiencing homelessness have little relief from their day to day struggles - While movies & popcorn don't solve homelessness, they help lift spirits & provide a nice escape for a while.

Take a look at what our neighbors in Worcester are doing to address chronic homelessness. Micro-Housing. "The city has set a goal to create 103 new units of permanent supportive housing...by the end of 2020." wbur.org/news/2020/02/0…


This is our good friend Emily's monthly Housewarming Basket for people transitioning out of homelessness into a safe, warm place of their own. We love that she includes a Home Sweet Home mug in her baskets. These little details really mean a lot to the people who receive them.

An enormous thank you to our board member Maureen, along with her 'networking group', and our board member @EricRollo and the team from The Agency Boston who all got together to make an astounding 20 Housewarming Baskets!

Many thanks to our new friend Anne who made seven housewarming baskets for people moving out of homelessness into a home of their own. These baskets really mean a lot to the people who receive them and help them get started in their new home and their new lives. 🙏💕

Domestic violence crosses all economic lines and often leads to homelessness no matter what your economic situation. Consider this next time you see a woman experiencing homelessness. . . She’s probably someone just like you story.californiasunday.com/escape-domesti…


Here is our amazing friend Richelle running a support group for women at the shelters called "Sip and Chat" where she creates a safe space to discuss issues the women may be facing in addition to homelessness. Welcome back, Richelle - You spread joy and hope wherever you go!
