2024 continues to be a year of introspection and gratitude. HSF recently lost our beloved co-founder, JoAnn McGrath – whose leadership guided the Foundation to its 35th anniversary. To mark this milestone, we have selected organizations to partner, reflect and peer ahead.

A day to give back to those in need.

Earlier this week, the #NHLBruins wives and girlfriends joined @MyBobs to furnish apartments for young moms and families at @St_MarysCenter with the money raised from this year's Festival of Trees initiative with the Bruins Foundation.

SMC is deeply grateful to @SenMarkey, @SenWarren & @RepPressley for securing $1.5M in federal funding to support a comprehensive capital renovation of our YPLP, enabling SMC to create de-densified, dignified living spaces designed to meet the needs of those most vulnerable.
