Dear Friends of Circle of Hope,
Personal dignity is the most essential building block to good health. Your partnership is critical as we work to preserve this fundamental human right. Working throughout our region, Circle of Hope provides monthly deliveries of clothing, bedding, and hygiene items to thousands of people experiencing homelessness. New clothes, a warm coat, and basic necessities can provide not only immediate health and comfort but also the first glimmer of hope necessary to begin a journey toward a stable future.
From infants to elders, Circle of Hope is the only nonprofit in Greater Boston that provides this type of inclusive, individualized support to everyone in need across the lifespan.
Unfortunately, the humanitarian crisis in our state continues to grow, and many more families in our community are being pushed to the brink. In 2024, Circle of Hope rose to meet the need— ensuring shelter shelves were stocked, new mothers and babies were supplied, and students had the items they needed to feel confident.
Your generosity is the driving force behind this work, allowing Circle of Hope to bring care and comfort to more than 26,000 children and adults each year—people like the women and children seeking shelter at Voices Against Violence, our nonprofit partner featured in this letter.
Crisis also provides clarity. Circle of Hope’s work is the critical backbone for so many nonprofits serving our community. The monthly supplies we provide are the foundation of good health and equity. As we look to the future, our team is embarking on a strategic plan to evolve our services for even greater reach.
Quite simply, we cannot do this work without you. Please give a gift to our annual campaign by December 31, 2024. Each dollar you provide enables us to purchase more clothing and supplies and say yes to the many nonprofits on our waitlist.
Thank you for your continued generosity, compassion, and support. Your partnership is critical as we expand our impact to help more people in need.
With my deepest gratitude,
Ari Barbanell, Executive Director
