New Partners!

Circle of Hope is growing! We moved closer to our goal of 50 partners by 2029 by adding three new partner programs in the second half of 2025: Suffolk County Sheriff's Department, Shut Up Until You There, and MassBay Community College.

Through our new partnership with the Suffolk County Sheriff's Department's Re-Entry Division, Circle of Hope provides hygiene kits to 300+ individuals transitioning out of incarceration each year. The majority of these individuals move in with family or go straight to a shelter upon release. By providing them with basic necessities, we are helping them get re-established and settled safely and comfortably.

Shut Up Until You There is a nonprofit organization in Boston supporting members of the Haitian community. We first provided winter coats to guests at their Thanksgiving dinner celebration in 2024 before transitioning to a full partnership last year. We will continue providing their clients with coats and clothing on an ongoing basis to support health and opportunity.

MassBay Community College offers free college tuition for most Massachusetts residents. We launched a new partnership with their Wellesley campus late last year to provide coats and clothing to students experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity. We will continue to make regular deliveries to support students' health and academic success.

We plan to move more partners off our waitlist in the coming months, so stay tuned for more exciting announcements!
