Welcome
Circle of Hope is a nonprofit organization based in Needham, Massachusetts. The mission of Circle of Hope is to provide infants, children, and adults experiencing homelessness in Boston and Metro West with clothing and necessities in order to preserve and enhance overall health and personal dignity. By continually providing seasonally appropriate clothing, shoes, linens, and hygiene essentials to 25 homeless shelters, healthcare clinics, and community programs, Circle of Hope gives the most vulnerable members of our community the opportunity to protect themselves from the dangers of illness and disease that come from being homeless in New England. Last year, Circle of Hope gave clothing, hygiene essentials, and PPE to more than 26,000 people experiencing homelessness. Read more about Circle of Hope...
What's New?
help alleviate the humanitarian crisis in ma
Massachusetts is facing a humanitarian crisis as housing costs remain high and thousands of people arrive in MA seeking safer lives for their families. Circle of Hope's partner shelters are beyond capacity and we have a waitlist for new partnerships as requests come in every week. That’s why we are launching a Crisis Response Fund to enable us to form new partnerships while continuing to deeply serve our existing partners. Learn more about how Circle of Hope is already responding to the MA humanitarian crisis.
Thanks to the incredible generosity of Louise Donovan & COH Board Chair Peter Donovan, your gift this April to the Crisis Response Fund will be matched up to $10,000! Amplify your impact by donating today.

DONATION POLICY UPDATE and new weekend hours!
Circle of Hope is now open for donation drop-offs on the last Saturday of every month from 10am - 12pm!
We are no longer limiting gently-used donations to 3 bags per drop-off. Donors may drop off more than 3 bags of clothing donations at one time.
We ask that you continue bagging your new and gently-used donations separately and labeling the bags accordingly. We also ask that you use smaller-sized bags so all our volunteers and staff can lift the bags safely and comfortably.
