Help Area Families Experiencing Homelessness

Looking for a meaningful way to contribute locally this holiday season? Please donate to Heading Home for the Holidays (https://www.justgiving.com/page/kim-jalet-4?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=CL) by Dec. 17. The Drive, which local mom Kim Jalet has been organizing for 12 years, grew out of local parenting groups and supports Heading Home, a Boston-based organization dedicated to ending homelessness. For families in emergency shelter, gift cards offer autonomy by letting them buy that special toy their child has been asking for, choose favorite holiday foods, or use it for essentials like diapers and warm clothing.
