Friends of the Shattuck Shelter

My company has a strong relationship with this shelter and our principals and colleagues can be found many times a year volunteering here and helping out any way we can.
Homelessness is a huge and growing issue in this country and especially in Massachusetts. Homelessness is up 9% alone in Boston! The number of homeless families is the fastest growing section and this includes women and children.
For over 22 years the Friends have built and provided innovative programs that help people achieve self-​sufficiency and permanent housing. The Friends offers real solutions to the causes of homelessness, including:
— unemployment
— addiction
— mental illness
— disease
— unaffordable housing
Give them a w/​e of your time; monetary support; whatever you can do.
