Ametek in Wilmington, MA gets a grade of A+ for giving each of our kids bags of summer supplies containing composition books, colored pencils, sunscreen, flip-flops, a beach towel & a drawstring backpack. Thank you, Ametek, for being loyal friends of our kids!
GRAZIE to the ever-loyal volunteers from @StateStreet who recently visited the kids from our residential program to teach them to make ravioli & pesto from scratch. The kids loved cooking & eating their handiwork. The State Street crew are state-of-the-art teachers!
We are proud of the diversity of our staff and the work we do with the LGBTQ+ community. This year, we have supported young people affirming their gender identity and those coming out to families whose cultural background can sometimes cause misunderstandings. Happy Pride Month!
Aiden has gone from shying away from recess to starring onstage in school. That’s the socialization progress he's made. Play is vital for socialization, but our playground is outdated. Can you help us raise $20K by 6/30 to update it? To give: https://t.co/8fvD0YVlPB
We will be closed today to honor the Juneteenth federal holiday. Juneteenth -- short for “June Nineteenth” -- marks the day when federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas in 1865 to take control of the state & ensure that all enslaved people be freed.
@UrsulineAcademy donated a truckload of desks for the kids at our Pallotta School. Onasis Lugo Percel & Susan Mitchell unloaded them from the U-Haul into the school. Everyone pitched in to clear out the old desks & lug in the new. What a wonderful gift to cap off the school year!
Spring is busting out all over at IHC, thanks to the down-to-the-earth people from @Deloitte! 20 of them volunteered for the 2nd year in a row. They weeded & planted flowers donated by Deloitte. They played outdoor games with Pallotta School kids & gave MP3 players to others.
Please give so kids like Aiden can play & learn on an upgraded playground. Some of our most important socialization happens during play, but our 25-year-old playground is worn & outdated. We need to raise $20K by 6/30. To give: https://t.co/8fvD0YVlPB
Massimino Cataldo Fund representatives & relatives of former Board member Massimino Cataldo, Annie and Cammi MacKenzie (pictured here) & Katie Matarazzo, met with us to talk about funding to upgrade damaged walkways & stairways, making our campus safer for all. THANK YOU!
Congratulations to IHC alum Diana Dorci, who won the Community Volunteer Award from @BostonChildrens, which resulted in our receiving a $5,000 donation from the hospital. Diana & her siblings came to the Home as children & believe it saved their lives.

Italian Home is proud to announce that we have been awarded @FaulknerHosp Community Health Impact Funding to recruit Resource Specialists who will work in Boston Public Schools (BPS).
My second trip to @ItalianHome in the past year, this time for the ribbon cutting of a new program to support children between the ages of 4 and 14 with Autism. Always reassuring to see increased supports for children of all needs.
Today we celebrated our 2023 Light of Dawnn award winners. Ashley Clavel, Rosemary Connelly, and Nathaniel McLean-Nichols all embody the selflessness and nonprofit service of Dawnn Jaffier.
Congratulations!
