HELP SAVE A LIFE! The Friends of the Shattuck Shelter: Calling Out for HELP!

The Friends of the Shattuck Shelter, a non-for-profit organization serving the homeless, is issuing an urgent call for necessary items that would make the hard winter months more bearable for its clients. While most of us are getting ready for the long holiday season, a significant portion of the metropolitan community will be struggling for their lives on the streets of Boston. Help save a life!

The Friends of the Shattuck Shelter, a non-for-profit organization serving the homeless, is issuing an urgent call for necessary items that would make the hard winter months more bearable for its clients.

The Friends of the Shattuck Shelter is making a plea to the kindness of your hearts. The homeless and those who are on their way to making successful transition from homelessness are asking for blankets; thermal underwear (sizes 36 and up); coffee; winter coats (mens and womens particularly L,XL,XXL); cold weather accessories (hats, scarves, gloves, mittens); heavy-duty sweatshirts; sneakers/shoes; plates/silverware/cookware; microwave; new socks; deodorant; soap; toothpaste; mens underwear, briefcase/backpacks; planners/appointment books; pre-paid calling cards; and a digital camera for identification pictures.

Items can be dropped off at either one of two locations: the Emergency Shelter at 170 Morton Street in Jamaica Plain; or at IMPACT Employment Service, 105 Chauncy Street in Boston.

Individuals and companies interested in making large-scale contributions are invited to call (617) 983-0351 ext.3, or email donations@shattuckshelter.org.
