Spring is here—finally! The sun’s out and we are looking back and sharing our plans for moving forward.

We are also marking a BIG milestone...

Four years of helping Greater Boston families stay on their feet when unexpected bills come up and throw things off track. And after four years of supporting Greater Boston families, it's the numbers that tell the story.

Grocery bag, light bulb icons. Text: Food on the Table, 75+ grocery costs covered; Keeping the Power On, 239 utility bills paid.

House and car icons. "Staying Housed" with 297 cases helped. "Transportation Can't Be Optional" with 172 cases. Text describes support.

We have paid nearly 1,200 bills for families and individuals across Greater Boston.

One unexpected expense at a time. One less thing to worry about.

ONE Story from the Front Lines

Nearly every day, we help families with urgent needs. Paying for rent, heat, and car repairs adds up. But it’s one of the smallest requests we have received that stays with us and grounds us in our mission.

A partner reached out for support for a mom and her toddler living in an emergency shelter. She was ready to start potty training, but she didn’t have consistent access to a bathroom. A case manager suggested a simple solution: placing a small potty in her shelter room.

But even that—a $35 item most of us would not think twice about—was out of reach.

We quickly covered the $35 potty expense, putting potty training back within the range of mom and her toddler.

Sometimes the smallest grants speak the loudest.

We are here for the big emergencies and the quiet, everyday moments.

Before We Go...

We don’t know what the rest of this year will bring. Let’s be honest—a lot is happening. The political climate is tough. Uncertainty is front and center.

We are focusing on what we know:

We are here with our partners, our supporters, and our local community—ready to meet the moment, one need at a time.

Thank you to this incredible community of support.

With Gratitude,
