November is National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Month. Many Massachusetts residents face the challenges that come with food insecurity and homelessness every day. Pine Street works with City of Boston, state and federal agencies and like-minded partners to move people off the street, out of shelter and back to a home and community.

Such a great way to build community on Halloween! Residents at several of Pine Street’s housing sites held costume parties and handed out candy for trick-or-treating today. Thank you to all who helped make this a festive night. Happy #Halloween!

President Lyndia Downie made her #TikTok debut with WBZ | CBS Boston to talk about the need for socks, hats, gloves and other warm clothing. In the winter, these are some of the most requested items from people experiencing homelessness. Thank you to all who donated these essential items to Pine Street for #Socktober.

The recent Pine Street “Bake-Off” featured an apple cake challenge! This fun competition helped our iCater Boston trainees build confidence for their culinary careers. Thank you to guest judges Jennifer Luna of Ostra Boston and Josh Kraft of the New England Patriots Foundation for your time, expertise and support.

Recently, Liberty Mutual Insurance volunteers assembled 1,000 snack bags for Pine Street shelter guests and individuals living on the street. The team also made Welcome Home Baskets with household essentials to make new Pine Street tenants feel at home. We are grateful for your phenomenal partnership! #LibertyTorchbearers
