Welcome
Circle of Hope is a nonprofit organization based in Needham, Massachusetts. The mission of Circle of Hope is to provide infants, children, and adults experiencing homelessness in Boston and Metro West with clothing and necessities in order to preserve and enhance overall health and personal dignity. By continually providing seasonally appropriate clothing, shoes, linens, and hygiene essentials to 25 homeless shelters, healthcare clinics, and community programs, Circle of Hope gives the most vulnerable members of our community the opportunity to protect themselves from the dangers of illness and disease that come from being homeless in New England. Last year, Circle of Hope gave clothing, hygiene essentials, and PPE to more than 26,000 people experiencing homelessness. Read more about Circle of Hope...

We're thrilled to share that Scoops for Hope is back this Mother's Day at Volante Farms in Needham! From May 11-19, Volante Farms will generously donate $1 to COH for every ice cream treat sold. Treat Mom (and yourself) to an ice cream and help moms and babies experiencing homelessness stay healthy and safe.
Our deepest thanks to Volante Farms for continuing this wonderful and impactful tradition!

DONATION POLICY UPDATE and new weekend hours!
Circle of Hope is now open for donation drop-offs on the last Saturday of every month from 10am - 12pm!
We are no longer limiting gently-used donations to 3 bags per drop-off. Donors may drop off more than 3 bags of clothing donations at one time.
We ask that you continue bagging your new and gently-used donations separately and labeling the bags accordingly. We also ask that you use smaller-sized bags so all our volunteers and staff can lift the bags safely and comfortably.
