A Bed for Every Child
The Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless partners with public schools to assist students whose families are at risk of becoming homeless. In 2011, our advocates learned that many students in local public schools were not getting a good night's sleep because they did not have their own bed to sleep in at home. A good night’s sleep has a major effect on a child’s ability to come to school prepared to learn; falling behind in school due to a lack of sleep can have negative long term consequences on a student’s education and future.A proven pathway out of homelessness is to ensure children of low-income families receive an education that will allow them to graduate from high school. In 2012, the Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless launched A Bed for Every Child, providing new twin beds to children in need. Learn more about how you can help.
In-Kind Donations
Today nearly 1 in 6 children growing up in Massachusetts is growing up in poverty. A teenager growing up in poverty often has to live without the most basic of items like clothing. The Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless has launched a partnership with the Jeremiah Burke High School located in Boston to create the Teen Closet Initiative. Teen Closet is a place where students can stop by during school hours to receive free of cost clothing and hygiene products. Learn more about how you can help.
