As winter approaches, a warm coat can make all the difference for someone experiencing homelessness. That’s why we’re launching our annual citywide Winter Coat Drive in partnership with Friends of Boston's Homeless.

For 40 years, our Homeless Services team and Friends of Boston's Homeless have worked together to support neighbors experiencing homelessness.

You can be part of that effort by donating a new winter coat online at boston.gov/homeless-services.

If you have 10 or more coats, you can drop off your donations at our Woods Mullen Shelter on Thursdays from 12 – 2:30 p.m.

Every coat makes a difference. Thank you for helping our neighbors stay warm, safe, and healthy this winter!

Introducing the new Valentine House Library! This quiet space for study, reflection, and reading was supported by the generosity of the Lawrence Model Housing Trust and a few private donors. It became a true home-y space when the UCC MEDFIELD ladies came for a visit and worked their magic! Decorations, books, pillows and more made it beautiful and we are so grateful! Let us know if you want to visit!

Board Vice Chair Katherine Provost and three ladies from Valentine House helped ED Carrie Coughlin hold a Harvest Movie Day at Woods Mullen yesterday! The live action movie “Moana” was a hit and the popcorn and Halloween candy were treats!
Happy 🎃!

Another month, another chance to make an impact.

In September, The Marquis Team donated $1,004.25 to Friends of Boston's Homeless home through our ongoing partnership. For every completed transaction, we give $25 to support their work helping individuals and families find stability and a place to call home.

None of this happens without our clients and community. Every home bought or sold with us helps someone else get one step closer to a home of their own.

Thank you for being part of it.
