Looking Back
Beyond Shelter: Honoring Andrew Marquis
On May 21, 200 people gathered to celebrate Friends of Boston’s Homeless and what we have done, and what we do to support those experiencing homelessness in Boston for 39 years.
We are so grateful to our honoree, Andrew Marquis, the Weintraub family, our board, our sponsors, and everyone who attended, volunteered, and supported Friends. Thank you for helping make the afternoon such a success, raising over $125,000, helping us continue to increase our support and services for neighbors in need across our community.
A special thank you as well to our incredible keynote speakers — Dr. Jim O’Connell of BHCHP, Chief Sheila Dillon of the Mayor’s Office of Housing, and Lisa DeBarros, Valentine House alumna and current Case Manager, Assistant Coordinator for Behavioral Health at Woods Mullen Shelter.
If you were unable to attend, or would like to revisit the afternoon, visit our YouTube channel to hear from our keynote speakers or view photos from the luncheon.
