Six years of 

meaningful Impact and Growth

​

For the sixth consecutive year, in collaboration with Mutual Aid Eastie and Transformational Prison Project, we celebrated another powerful milestone. This past Saturday, more than 30 students completed our Digital Literacy Program, delivered in partnership with Transformational Prision Project and Mutual Aid Eastie

Over the past several weeks, participants built essential skills—from using online tools and accessing financial resources to exploring job platforms and strengthening their confidence with technology. The program was delivered in both English and Spanish, creating an inclusive learning environment while also challenging participants to grow across languages. Many balanced work, family, and other responsibilities while remaining committed to their development, and we couldn’t be more proud.

More impact, more growth, and more opportunities ahead. 🙌

Growing to Serve You Better!G

We’re excited to introduce our new warehouse at 30 Northampton Street, a space dedicated to supporting our Food Distribution Program. This new location allows us to better organize, store, and distribute food, helping us serve our community more efficiently and reach even more families in need.

Last Friday, our Food Distribution staff earned their Industrial Powered Truck certification, allowing us to safely move and serve even more food.

Creativity in Action

Since launching in January, the East Boston Community Studio has become a vibrant hub for creativity and connection, offering hands-on workshops every other Saturday and opening our tools and space to the broader community.

At our latest session, participants joined a Laser Cut Puzzle Workshop, creating original drawings that were transformed into custom jigsaw puzzles. It was a fun and inspiring opportunity for community members of all ages to explore new skills and connect through art.
