Special thanks today to Representatives Daniel Donahue & Jim O'Day for your long term friendship and support for the people we serve. They have secured $200,000 for a new permanent housing program for Dismas residents that we will build in the next year. Truly champions!
How many more days? Only 5 days until the first of our Fall Harvest Days, October 2nd, 9th, and 16th, 11am-4pm. 687 Lincoln Road, Oakham. Come join us for hay rides, pumpkins, and fall treats at the Farm! And don't forget the epic "Barn Slide!"
Happy earth day! The solution for eliminating a nonprofit or your home carbon footprint is to combine community based solar such as @Nexamp with air sourced heat pumps. It’s easy to do and panels are off site, you just buy their production.
Many folks coming to the Mustard Seed are looking for blankets and sleeping bags as the nights have gotten pretty cold.
Gently used blankets and sleeping bags accepted and can be donated Monday through Friday from 4:30-6:30pm
93 Piedmont Street in #Worcester
Postcard party to write legislators on behalf of expanded access to reentry services and issue ID for reentering inmates so they can access services, drivers licenses and more.
Great job by Dismas crew advocating at statehouse for changes to the rates charged to families of inmates for phone calls from prisons. Everyone knows that family connections are important to the success of inmates reconnecting to Worcester and other communities.
We were pleased to recognize @DismasHouse for their outstanding commitment to providing affordable sober housing in the Commonwealth. Congratulations, and thank you for your partnership!
Thank you @EdMarkey office, Tristan Takos & Melissa Olesen for meeting with us to hear our concerns about need for better access for social security benefits for homeless and others.
Many thanks @RepDanDonahue for filing an amendment for funding for Dismas House in the 2020 budget! We appreciate your continued support for our work restoring former prisoners to our communities by building a supportive home environment.
Thanks to everyone who worked so hard on this, including our residents who spent years talking about restorative justice to stakeholders. https://t.co/WcdC9kJLZe
