The Daybreak Shelter provides a range of services to those struggling with substance abuse, homelessness, and opiate addiction, including educational help, mental health counseling, and emergency shelter.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Shelter was forced to operate at a lower capacity while demand for its services remained high. It reached out to us because it was running low on supplies.
We provided 3-6 months worth of hygiene products, toiletries, water bottles, backpacks, water filtration systems, and groceries to the shelter. While this was a one-time project, we are considering making our support more regular since there is an ongoing need.
We also worked with the Middlesex Human Services Agency (MHSA) to help children living in shelters adjust and adapt to virtual learning. They reached out to us and requested school supplies, from pencils and notebooks to wireless mice and headsets. We assembled “Education Kits” for 120 children and delivered them to the MHSA. We also supplied them with breakfast cereal boxes.
