When Help Can’t Wait

Help us raise $10,000 for East End House to provide timely, practical emergency support to children, families, and individuals in our community!

Unexpected expenses, missed paychecks, and childcare disruptions can put a family’s stability at risk. East End House helps community members navigate these challenges by providing essential resources, including groceries, diapers, formula, emergency financial assistance, warm clothing, and connections to additional community support.

A little help at the right time can make a lasting difference. Every donation helps East End House respond to urgent needs, ease immediate financial pressures, and give individuals and families greater stability.

Please consider donating to help us reach our $10,000 goal. Thank you for supporting East End House and the community we serve!

East End House is one of Greater Boston’s oldest social service centers, and has been a vital resource for newly immigrated and lower-income individuals and families for 150 years. 

East End House community center uses a holistic approach to promote the well-being, academic achievement, and successful transition to adulthood of children and youth from under-resourced families in Cambridge and the surrounding communities. As part of this approach, East End House provides support services to a diverse population, from infants to seniors, to strengthen family and community. 

The East End House Theory of Change (ToC) aligns all programming to the long-term goal of youth completing at least two years of post-secondary education or finding gainful employment by age 24. The ToC is used in tandem with the Five Protective (Promotive) Factors for Strengthening Families framework.
