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 and housing insecurity 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 32 homeless shelters, healthcare clinics, schools, 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 and hygiene essentials to more than 31,700 people experiencing homelessness. Read more about Circle of Hope...
