We were thrilled to participate in the Light the World Giving Machines at the Natick Mall this holiday season! Shoppers had the opportunity to "buy" various donation kits for Circle of Hope, including clothing kits and hygiene kits for the people we serve. We are deeply grateful to the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-Day Saints for including Circle of Hope in this innovative global initiative.

We had a blast joining Beacon Wellness Brands and Give n' Glow for a holiday kit-packing event this holiday season! This energetic team assembled 1,000 makeup kits for women experiencing homelessness and economic hardship this holiday season. Circle of Hope distributed half of these kits to five of our partner programs, including Breaktime, Rosie's Place, and Women's Lunch Place.

Thank you to everyone who came to our skate party fundraiser at Chez-Vous Roller Rink in November! We had a blast skating with you and raising critical funds for Circle of Hope. Big thanks to our wonderful Board Member, Franchesca Carrington (second from left), for organizing this fun community event!

Charles River Apparel generously included COH in the launch of their new Patriots x Charles River clothing line, weekend-long warehouse sale, and direct-to-consumer website launch, donating a product for every item sold during launch week. We received dozens of boxes of new clothing and outerwear just in time for winter. We are so very grateful for this impactful partnership!
