Services:
- Grocery Distributions – Staff distribute bags of groceries directly to clients every Wednesday and two Saturdays a month
- Weekly Community Suppers – Staff provide free hot, nutritious take-out meals to nearly 200 guests every Wednesday.
- Nearly New Thrift Shop – Onsite thrift store sells greatly discounted clothing, shoes, coats, household goods, kitchen appliances, and other items. Staff also offer “Thrift Store Dollars” to provide items for free to those in need, particularly those seeking gender-affirming clothing. (Open Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays)
- Allston-Brighton Community Fridge – Free community fridge/pantry that provides 24/7 self-service access to food and supplies (hand sanitizer, feminine hygiene products, etc.) that clients can take and leave as needed.
- Community Support – Beyond food and clothing, staff provide guests with referrals to other social services in Allston Brighton. Our Trans BIPOC Pastoral Resident offers limited one on one counseling for those in crisis, and our trained volunteers connect with guests who are seeking community social connection.
