The Somerville Homeless Coalition provides homeless and near homeless individuals and families with individualized supportive services. Their new program, Make a House a Home, focuses on families and individuals who are moving into an apartment but do not have the resources to make their apartment "home." SHC will provide the large furniture such beds and dressers. Havurat Shalom is holding a housewarming to collect newly bought items to outfit a kitchen for a newly housed person.
If you prefer to donate money, that is welcome! Just note "Make a House" with your donation.
Also, Wednesday May 1 at 6:30 pm, there will be a pizza dinner and shopping gathering to get any items from the list that haven't been pledged. Whether or not you've donated, join us for this evening.
Come to Shabbat services at 10:00 am, with a vegetarian potluck lunch after services, and stay for the "housewarming." Or come to any part of the day's program. Matthew Caughey from SHC will speak briefly about their work and answer questions.

Havurat Shalom is a member of Somerville Interfaith, a group working to help refugees in Somerville. One of the things Somerville Interfaith does is to give gift cards to the supermarket Market Basket to refugees who aren't allowed to work yet. The Havurah has a box near the front door with the Market Basket logo on it. You can put $25 Market Basket gift cards there, or checks made out to Havurat Shalom that specify 'gift card' in the subject line to help support refugees in our community. Or, if you're donating on-line, specify that your donation is for a Market Basket gift card. And thank you!
