Meet this year’s Friendly House Teen Leadership Cohort!

Today, we kicked off the year with teens from across all Worcester high schools coming together to connect, build friendships, and get to know each other! After our kickoff, we headed to Tougas Family Farm for some apple picking!

Different schools, one community, and a new generation of leaders.

Stay tuned to see what this year’s Teen Leaders have planned!

Friendly House families need your help again!

Our community came through in a BIG way during our last diaper drive—thank you! We’re asking for your support once again. Our supply is very low, with only a limited number of size 1 diapers and no other sizes available.

Let’s make sure we can continue being there for the babies and toddlers in our community with this basic necessity. Every package makes a difference! 🍼💛

Our annual Block Party was a huge success! We handed out 450+ backpacks and school supplies, served 300+ empanadas and limbers and provided 53 hair cuts and braids to kids! And as if that wasn't enough, with the incredible support of our amazing community partners, we raised over $40,000 to support our Social Services and Youth Programs! A heartfelt THANK YOU to all our sponsors, donors, volunteers, staff and community partners who made this incredible day- and this impact- possible. We couldn't have done it without you!
