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:
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.
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.
