Somerville Homeless Coalition

At our food pantry Project SOUP, we always say we can’t do what we do without our community’s support! 💙 Closing out Volunteer Month with a party to show our appreciation seemed like the least we could do and it turned into a wonderful gift for everyone who came! Special thanks to our SOUP team for making it all come together: the day-to-day operations, receiving deliveries, stocking shelves, delivering bags of groceries, and just showing up (even on the cold, rainy Monday morning deliveries!). You do it all and still find time to deliver a great party! #SomervilleHomelessCoalition #CommunityLove #ProjectSOUP #giveback #volunteer

Construction is underway! 🏗️ Our friends at Rockland Trust took the time to walk through the space that will soon become our new Engagement Center and program and administrative offices. Thank you @rockland_trust for your longstanding and generous support! We all know a good neighbor is there when you need help, but a great neighbor checks in and makes sure you know you’re supported! Thanks for checking in @rockland_trust !

A toothbrush, some shampoo, deodorant or soap. These can feel small until you don't have them. St. Eulalia’s Parish organized a toiletries drive for our neighbors experiencing homelessness. They know dignity sometimes comes in small packages. Thanks for delivering it. 🧴 #SomervilleHomelessCoalition #CommunityPartners #ThankYou

Sharing a warm meal matters. We owe a heartfelt thank you to @libertymutual for showing up and feeding our neighbors in need this Monday. We’re grateful for their generosity in sharing a delicious & freshly-cooked meal with us! Thank you for taking the time to nourish our community and helping us close out national volunteer month with impact! #servewithliberty #SomervilleHomelessCoalition #CommunityPartners #ThankYou #EndHomelessness

A huge congrats to @church_of_payton who just conquered the 130th Boston Marathon! 🏅 Thank you Payton for training so hard and donating your time and energy! From day one of his training, Payton has been running to fundraise for our mission and it’s still not too late to support and show some love! To everyone who’s already donated or shared a message of support: thank you. You showed up for Payton and that means the world to us. Your generosity fuels our mission to end homelessness and we couldn’t be more grateful! And to Payton: again, thank you for running with us in mind. We’re so proud to call you a friend. bit.ly/4qobxsi

Good morning! We couldn’t be more thrilled to cheer on @church_of_payton at the 130th Boston Marathon this Monday! Payton has been training hard; running a 36-hour race, half marathons, full marathons and more, and we’re grateful for his fundraising efforts even if his sore legs aren’t! We’re going to be screaming our hearts out for Payton along the course. Let’s show up for someone who’s shown up for us. Go get ‘em, Payton! 💪 #Marathon #CommunityLove #HousingForAll #EndHomelessness #WithGratitude

Big gratitude to our incredible community partners. 💛 Your in kind donations make a direct difference in the lives of our neighbors. Recently that has looked like: 🍞 Fresh bread from @kosharimama 🧼 Hygiene kits from @repairtheworld Fresh bread, hygiene kits or other in kind donations like meals or even a pair of comfy socks meet our neighbors' basic needs right away so nobody has to choose between dignity and survival. Thank you for showing up with exactly what our clients need. We couldn't do this without your generosity!
