Dear Friends of Circle of Hope,
In times of crisis, our community has never failed to rise to the occasion, providing critical resources to infants, children, and adults experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity. This past year, you helped Circle of Hope:
Move three new partners off our growing waitlist.
Provide temporary support to five additional partners with urgent needs.
Answer dozens of emergency calls from our partners, helping families recover and rebuild after house fires, domestic violence, and other traumas.
Together, we are confronting a deepening humanitarian crisis in Greater Boston, promoting health and creating pathways to opportunity for tens of thousands of people.
But the need is still growing — and so is our waitlist.
Right now, 18 potential partners are waiting for our help, and many of our existing partners are navigating deep uncertainties and turning to Circle of Hope more than ever before. They count on us to fill urgent gaps, sustain critical services, and answer every call for help.
Please help us raise $150,000 by the end of 2025 so we can immediately launch five new partnerships, reaching hundreds more neighbors who are struggling without basic necessities. Every dollar you donate brings us closer to our goal of serving 50 partner programs by 2029.
Please join us again this year and consider increasing your gift so we can meet this moment together. Your generosity will put warm clothing and hygiene essentials directly into the hands of those who need them and send a powerful message of hope, comfort, and compassion when it matters most.
With my deepest gratitude,
Ari Barbanell, Executive Director
