JUST IN: A request for women's clothes in size 7/8 and size medium. If you can help this woman (these are also sizes I've seen at a few shelters) she will be very happy! Thank you and please...spread the word!

Thank you Jackie of Hopkinton for the many items for a women's shelter and a TV for a family shelter! Very blessed to have your support.

Family shelter in Framingham is requesting a TV for their living room. Their old TV is broken and the families are a bit sad. If you can help please reply and/or PM
Thank you!!!!

Thank you Rebecca W. for your very generous donation of diapers, wipes, and laundry detergent!! Happy, grateful parents (and babies!)!

The influx of Haitian refugees has area social service organizations scrambling. As a housing worker supporting those in shelters in the city of Framingham, I witness every day the plight of those from Haiti as well as countless others. The most pressing needs are: Laundry detergent, toiletries, diapers and pull-ups, wipes, towels, bedding (inc. new pillows), and infant/toddler needs. If you are able to help: please reply here. PM, or call 508-333-5275. Thank you! Merci beaucoup!

It's play time! Thank you Lauren B for your generous donation of good-as-new toys for local homeless children. As a case worker back in the field, I'm once again seeing great hands the need for items such as clothing, toys, towels... the list goes on. Thank you!!

Thank you Yolanda Greaves for helping so many men with men's clothes! They were promptly delivered to a men's shelter in Marlboro. Great stuff!

From Framingham social worker: I was wondering if you had any umbrella or front facing strollers for a family I'm working with? They have an almost 1 year old still in a bucket seat stroller and she's miserable facing inwards so hoping being able to face outwards will make her more content when mom needs to walk with her to get places!

I also have a family in need of a small crib or a pack n play with a bassinet feature for their 3 month old boy. Please reply if you can and if you can't..please.. spread the word! Thank you!

Happy Mother's Day to all Mothers! We appreciate all the moms who have taken time out of their busy schedules to help those in need. Please take time to relax and know you're making the world a better place ❤️

Good sleep is so so important for our health. What better way to help with one of our area shelters' biggest needs than purchasing a pillow! New pillows at nominal prices can be found at Big Lots, Walmart.. Where else? Let's create a drive and give our homeless families new pillows!

The past 2 days have resulted in 3 great deliveries! The Mill Pond rest home here in Ashland received clothing for men and women inc. Bombas socks and new underwear! They were so happy! A family shelter in Framingham received books and blankets and the Ashland town social worker received items as requested: baby boy clothes (so much fun sorting baby clothes!), diapers, and the classic children's book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar

From a big need to a small need, kitchen needs to a book to read; Home2Homes is there. A bike helmet (and pads) for a little girl, new towels (quick! Target has large bath towels for $3!!), Spring clothes, and more..we make it happen...all thanks to YOU!! Thank you all!

Happy Holidays to those celebrating this weekend! The H2H Team wishes you health & happiness 💓

April showers bring May....volunteer hours! Time spent helping others is always time well spent. Thank you Donors and volunteers for making our mission possible!

All in 2 days work! Deliveries to 3 shelters (men, women, & family consisting of: 12 comforters/blankets & sheets, 1 bin of toiletries,
1 lg bins plates, bowls, and glasses, 1 clock, 1 box women’s M, 1 box infant boy 18-24 mos, 2 boxes girl 3T-7
2 infant playmats, 1 bag of notebooks & pens. Thank you donors for making so many peoples' day!

Giving is good for you! When we give to others it activates the areas of the brain associated with pleasure, social connection and trust. Altruistic behaviour releases endorphins in the brain and boosts happiness for us as well as the people we help! It's a win-win

Congratulations Hopkinton on your successful Hop Swap! A big shout out to Maria who allowed H2H to come shop at the very end... Clothing for expecting moms, ten boys, hats and mittens are sure to help many people now and in the future. Thank you!!
