Circle of Hope is expanding its health clinic partnerships! Already this year, we launched new pilot partnerships with two healthcare centers serving homeless individuals: Bowdoin Health Center in Dorchester and the Dimock Center in Roxbury.
We made our first delivery to Bowdoin Health Center in early January, bringing six Welcome Baby Bags and infant clothing to the homeless newborns receiving care. A mom with newborn twins was overjoyed and especially grateful for the warm blankets because the shelter rooms are so cold. We are working closely with the Community Health Workers to help homeless infants thrive in their early months and monitor the success of the Pilot Program over the next six months.
Our first delivery to the Dimock Center took place in early February. We provided clothing, toiletries, and Welcome Baby items to their "Women's Renewal - Clinical Stabilization Services" program. By providing essentials for health and dignity, we help homeless women who are recovering from substance use disorders, mental health disorders, and trauma. After our first delivery, a clinician at the Dimock Center said:
"Words cannot express how thankful we are for your contribution. You went over the top and for that we thank you as well as from the clients. Thank you does not cover it."
We're excited to partner with these two healthcare clinics and we're proud to serve more women and infants who are homeless and need our help.
