Our Anchor Organizations: We're proud to support these groups and their missions!
One Mission
What they're about:
One Mission makes it easier by providing programs and services that reduce stress, restore joy, and give children and their loved ones the support they need to get through the daily challenges of treatment.
Whether it’s providing arts and crafts, putting on birthday parties and holiday celebrations, or paying for expensive hospital parking, we make life brighter for kids fighting cancer from the moment of diagnosis, through treatment and beyond.
The Sparrow Collective
What they're about:
building the first supportive living community in Massachusetts designed specifically for women (and their children) transitioning through divorce. Our program is more than temporary housing—it’s a place for healing, empowerment, and transformation. Through financially sustainable living arrangements, wrap-around services, and a compassionate community, we help women regain their independence and thrive.
Love Life Now
What they're about:
Love Life Now Foundation (LLN) is a global awareness and education organization that supports survivors of domestic violence (DV) through year-round initiatives, as well as direct assistance to DV shelter programs.
Abby's House
What they're about:
As a nonprofit organization with one of the first overnight shelters for women in the US, Abby's House provides shelter and affordable housing, as well as advocacy and support services, to homeless, battered, and low-income women, with or without children.
Over the years, they have helped more than 16,000 women and their children reclaim and rebuild their lives, empowering them to lead self-directed lives filled with dignity and hope.
Currently one of the few community shelters (non-state funded) in Worcester with 18 shelter beds and 79 units of housing, they are the largest provider of affordable, supportive housing in that area designed to meet the needs of women and children.
Girls Inc.
What they're about:
Girls Inc. of Worcester inspires all girls to be strong, smart, and bold. We put our mission into practice through The Girls Inc. Experience, which equips girls to navigate gender, economic and social barriers and grow into healthy, educated and independent adults.
Girls Inc. is committed to creating an environment where each girl is supported to reach her full potential. They value what makes each of us unique and believe in the strength that comes from a range of ideas, approaches, and experiences. Their staff, volunteers, and board members reflects the communities they serve, and work to create a welcoming, respectful, and supportive space where all girls feel encouraged to grow, learn, and thrive.
ConfiKids
What they're about:
ConfiKids, Inc. is a nonprofit organization providing opportunities for children of limited financial means to participate in enrichment activities so that they may pursue their interests and passions, develop new skills, establish new relationships, and, ultimately, build confidence. They work directly with parents, guardians, educators, coaches, and mentors who apply for children to receive financial support to participate in such activities.
Children eligible for participation are those in grades 1 through 8 who are enrolled in the free lunch program at their school.
And we support these local youth sports!
