We rely on volunteers and donors to help us fight homelessness and food insecurity in our community.

There are many way to get involved! Read below for more info:

Make a Gift

Last year, with the support of individual donors, grants, and community partners, we served nearly 4,000 individuals and prevented over 200 evictions. Your support is essential for us to keep fighting homelessness, eviction, and food insecurity. Thank you!

Volunteer

We rely on volunteers to continue our critical work in the community. Our food pantry, Project SOUP, has the highest need for volunteers. Please visit our Food Assistance page to learn more about our food pantry and volunteering opportunities.

Attend an Event

We host a number of annual fundraising events, such as our Gala, Road Race, and Golf Tournament. Check out our Facebook page and EVENTS page to see what is coming up!

Cook a Meal for the Adult Shelter

We have approximately 16 guests staying at our Adult Shelter, located on College Ave in Somerville. Home-cooked meals are always welcome. Please contact Katie at [email protected] to coordinate.

Host an Event

We encourage people and businesses looking for a fun to get involved to host an event on our behalf. Do you have an annual block party? Or, perhaps you have a garage sale planned. On Behalf Of events are a great way to give back while having fun.

Host a Food Drive

We distribute over 30,000 bags of groceries each year, which takes a lot of food! Hosting a food drive is a great way to get involved with SHC. Please email [email protected] for more information.

Shop on Amazon Smile

If you shop online at Amazon.com, you can donate a portion of each purchase to SHC just by changing your bookmark! Simply log in with your normal Amazon account to smile.amazon.com and choose Somerville Homeless Coalition as your charity.

Cook a Monday Community Meal

This opportunity is ideal for a group of friends, a church group, or a business looking to get their employees involved locally. We serve about 50 people each Monday at the First Church in Somerville (89 College Ave). The meal is grab-and-go, with 50 individually packaged meals prepared ahead of time. Click here for more info!
