Donate to Friends

A financial donation of any size can help someone into safe, stable housing, connect them to critical services and opportunities, and get them started on their path to living peaceful, hopeful futures in our community.

Make Housewarming Baskets

Whether you host a party with friends, co-workers, or other peers, or build a basket yourself, you can give the newly housed all they need to make a home.

Hold a Drive for Critically Needed Items

Organize a drive with your company, school, place of worship, or simply gather items with friends and family, you can provide the critical essentials that bring comfort, warmth, and dignity to people in Boston’s emergency shelters.

Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteer opportunities are available at Woods Mullen Women’s Shelter and Southampton Men’s Shelter. Volunteers can help serve meals, host activities like bingo or socials, assist with clean-ups or planting projects, and more.
