🛁🪥 We are so grateful for Breaktime supporter, Matthew Bacon who generously donated over 100 toothbrushes as well as other hygiene and self-care items for Breaktime Associates. The young adults in our program were thrilled to take home “the good toothbrushes” along with full toiletry bags. Thank you so much, Matt! 💙 • • • • #breaktimeboston #nonprofit #empowerment #homelessness #advocacy #community #partnerships #youngadults #donation

🌟🎉 Breaktime’s second standalone Launchpad was a complete success! Working with the incredible staff at Father Bill's & MainSpring, our Training Team empowered six young adults with job readiness skills and financial literacy. Hosting Launchpad physically at the Father Bill’s space in Brockton allowed greater access to our program for emergency and transitional housing program residents. Now, the team at Father Bill’s will be elevating their existing services and resources to support Associates in finding future job and educational opportunities. 💙 • • • • #breaktimeboston #nonprofit #empowerment #homelessness #youngadults #advocacy #community #employment #graduation #launchpad

Housing and resource insecurities among young adults, especially LGBTQ+ individuals, is a growing concern in Boston. In response, we launched ✨The Giving Unicorn✨ a donation drive in partnership with BAGLY, Inc. and Breaktime. Thanks to our incredible team, we assembled over 200+ care packages and donated essential supplies to help these non-profits in their continuing missions to support young adults facing homelessness and/or housing and resource insecurities. Huge thank you to everyone who contributed! Your generosity made a big impact and we're so grateful to BAGLY and Breaktime for allowing us to give back to such a great cause. Happy Giving! And if you're inspired to give back and help, please reach out, donate, and volunteer at these wonderful organizations 🦄 #thegivingunicorn🦄💜
