Our hearts are still full.

Because of the kindness of this community, caregivers in our shelters and transitional housing programs felt seen, appreciated, and supported this weekend.

Together, supporters helped provide thoughtful care packages, flowers, and small moments of comfort and joy for caregivers working every day to support their families through incredibly difficult circumstances.

We are deeply grateful to Danvers Kiwanis Club, a generous anonymous donor, the volunteers who shared their time and care, and everyone who contributed to helping make these moments possible.

For families experiencing homelessness, gestures like these mean so much. They remind caregivers that they are not alone and that their community is standing beside them.

Thank you for surrounding families with dignity, compassion, and love this Mother’s Day. 💐

Today is Mother’s Day.

You can honor the caregivers who are doing everything they can to keep their families stable.

Because of you, they can put food on the table and keep moving forward.

Your gift today will provide care packages that ease daily stress and support families on their path to stability.

Give in honor of a caregiver, or stand with families working toward a better future.

What this community made possible at our recent Citizens Inn Gala.

Because of you, more families will have food on the table and a safe place to sleep.

Together, this community raised more than $360,000 to support neighbors facing difficult moments.

And as more families continue to reach out, that support matters more than ever. 💙

We wanted to share a moment from Saturday night’s Citizens Inn Gala.

During the evening, we heard from members of our community about what it means to be met with real care during difficult moments.

This video captures a part of that. 💙

We’re still thinking about Saturday night. ✨

This is what solidarity looks like.

A community coming together to stand with their neighbors and make sure no one has to face hard moments alone. 💙
Thank you to everyone who showed up and made the evening so meaningful.

Grateful to all who helped bring the night together, including Raul Martinez NBC10 Boston and Harrison Stebbins.
