Public Benefits and Community Assistance

We bring together students from Harvard College and surrounding universities with kids from Cambridge's different neighborhoods.

We visit moms and dads of young children at a convenient location to share information about early literacy development, talking and reading with children, and community resources.

We provide meals and materials to individuals who are low-income or extremely low-income, and who are experiencing homeless, are housing insecure, or living in persistent poverty.

Our hotline helps prevent suicide by giving free and confidential support for people in distress, prevention and crisis resources for you and loved ones, and best practices for professionals.
