SEE THE IMPACT
How You Can Help
In this unprecedented crisis, we’ve seen civic leaders, agencies, donors and volunteers come together to create and support safe spaces for families. Once a family is settled into their new temporary housing, the need shifts to the essentials of daily living.

Currently we are helping the South Boston Neighborhood House collect new or gently used items.

Urgently needed items include : Microwaves, Refrigerators, Vacuums, Tables, Chairs, Pots and Pans, Silverware, Dinnerware, Toasters, Blenders, Coffee Makers, Cleaning Supplies, and other small appliances.
