We are so grateful to our friends at for their generous donation of canned goods for our school pantries.

These everyday essentials may seem simple, but they make a real difference for the children who rely on us every week.

Thank you, Project New Hope, for helping us provide these students the support they need when it matters most.🌻💛

Huge thank you to our friends at Patrick Motor Group for hosting a food drive for Juniper again this year.

Stop in and visit them if you’re nearby! Every item makes a difference🌻 💛

From 3/16 through 4/13, all Patrick Motor Group locations will have bins in their showrooms for food-drive collections benefiting The Juniper Outreach Foundation.

The Juniper Outreach Foundation operates 8 food pantries at local public schools throughout Worcester, such as Lincoln Street School, Elm Park Community School, and Burncoat Preparatory School.

Many students at these schools face food insecurity and may go home on weekends, unsure of when they’ll have their next meal.

We encourage you to stop by and donate non-perishable food items if you’re able. Every contribution helps support local students in need.

🌻 Calling all parents of college students! 🌻
If your student is home for the holidays and looking for a little volunteer time, we have a perfect opportunity!

Our friends at Consigli Construction Co., Inc. generously donated blankets again this year, and with these frigid temperatures, getting them delivered to our eight school pantries next week feels more important than ever.

It’s a quick and helpful way to make a real difference any many of you have asked how your college kids can get involved.

If your student is interested, please send us a message!

Thank you for always stepping in and being part of the Juniper family 🌻🎄

We are thrilled to congratulate our founder and Executive Director, Julie McDonald, for being honored at the 4th Annual WooSox Foundation Honors Gala, awarded the Social Justice Award for her incredible work through Juniper Outreach Foundation.
We’re so proud of everything Julie and the dedicated Juniper volunteers do every single day to support children and families in Worcester. Their tireless efforts to create food pantries in Worcester Public Schools and ensure no student goes hungry are nothing short of inspiring.
We’re grateful for our partnership with the WooSox and WooSox Foundation. Together, we’re making a meaningful difference in our community and this honor reflects not just Julie’s leadership, but the compassion and commitment of everyone who stands with us.
Congratulations again, Julie!🌻

Last night was pure holiday magic as Juniper decorated our very own tree for Winter in Wooville’s Charity Tree Village at Polar Park!🌻🎄

Polar Park is lit up like a true winter wonderland, and the tree village is officially open for families to explore. Bring the kids, grab some cocoa, and take in the holiday cheer!

A huge thank-you to the for inviting local organizations like ours to be part of this festive event. Their commitment to Worcester shines all year long.

If you’re out and about this month, stop by and visit Winter in Wooville—you won’t be disappointed!
(And don’t forget to throw a vote toward the sunflower tree!)

Happy Holidays from all of us at Juniper! 🎄🌻
