College admissions, but this time WE made the decisions!

Our Teen Leaders got to play the role of college admissions counselors, reviewing transcripts and applications to decide who gets accepted and who doesn’t!

Shoutout to Grace from UMass Boston for giving our Teen Leaders a behind-the-scenes look at the college admissions process!

And a big thank you to Chick-fil-A for providing dinner!

🎃 Thank you to our amazing families who make events like Pumpkin Carving Night so much fun! We love bringing everyone together, especially as we head into the holiday season, to make memories and share special moments as a community. ❤️

This event has become so special to us over the past two years, and we’re thrilled to see our families and kiddos enjoying it just as much as we do! A special thank you to our incredible staff who help make events like this possible. We couldn’t do it without you! 🍂

Today, we kicked off the year with teens from across all Worcester high schools coming together to connect, build friendships, and get to know each other! After our kickoff, we headed to Tougas Family Farm for some apple picking!

Different schools, one community, and a new generation of leaders.

Stay tuned to see what this year’s Teen Leaders have planned!

Friendly House families need your help again!

Our community came through in a BIG way during our last diaper drive—thank you! We’re asking for your support once again. Our supply is very low, with only a limited number of size 1 diapers and no other sizes available.

Let’s make sure we can continue being there for the babies and toddlers in our community with this basic necessity. Every package makes a difference! 🍼💛

Our annual Block Party was a huge success! We handed out 450+ backpacks and school supplies, served 300+ empanadas and limbers and provided 53 hair cuts and braids to kids! And as if that wasn't enough, with the incredible support of our amazing community partners, we raised over $40,000 to support our Social Services and Youth Programs! A heartfelt THANK YOU to all our sponsors, donors, volunteers, staff and community partners who made this incredible day- and this impact- possible. We couldn't have done it without you!
