Our mission is to facilitate community connection, mutual aid, and access to resources and supports
for all people who live, work, pray, play and/or learn in Newton, MA, and other local communities. 

We are so grateful to all our supporters who helped us meet our fundraising goal for operating programs and volunteer coordination in the year ahead. We are aiming to reach even more people and deliver greater impact across all of our programs, building on the strong momentum of last year:

​

• Giving Thanks Holiday Support  - Everyone can celebrate the season! Provided 400 families with supermarket gift cards through the Bruce H. Wilson Giving Thanks Drive.

• Diaper Bank Access  - Imagine choosing between diapers or groceries? Distributed over 50,000 diapers to more than 400 families.
