Our intern Emma is building a student-focused guide to local orgs that accept donations, offer flexible volunteer options, and make big change from small acts!

If you’re an area student, group, or organization fighting homelessness or food insecurity, connect!

#Nonprofits can’t go it alone anymore.
Partnerships, side hustles, and fractional leadership are reshaping how we serve our communities.

In Massachusetts, that shift could make the difference between housing stability and homelessness.

This week, #NewJersey eliminated state support for @camdencoalition.bsky.social's Housing First initiative, a model celebrated for reducing hospital use, lowering recidivism, and increasing housing stability. Similar changes here could be devastating:

Yesterday, after seven sustained months of effort on his part, one of our neighbors spent his first night in a new bed.

If you or someone you know has a new or used desk and chair set, laptop, or TV, please reach out.

On May 30, we’re sleeping outside for those who don’t have the choice.
It’s called Sleep Out, and it’s our way of saying: We see you. We’re with you. And we’re not backing down.

This isn’t “pretending” to be homeless. It’s about rehumanizing the system.

So... sleep with me?

Will you... sleep with me... ?

No, seriously.

On May 30, we’re sleeping outside to stand in solidarity with those who don’t have the choice. And we want you to join us.

You can help!
Sleep with us or donate to support mobile outreach!
