“A BED FOR EVERY CHILD CAMPAIGN” The Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless has recently launched A Bed for Every Child campaign with the goal of raising $400,000 over the next several months to distribute 1,500 beds and linens for students without one. Please join us in helping the Coalition to reach their goal, which is extremely achievable and will have a long lasting impact on a child’s life. Campus Ministry is committed to helping the coalition in their efforts to provide “A Bed for Every Child”.

A “Crib Sheet and Blanket” Collection will be held from Wednesday, October 24th thru Friday, November 16th. All sheets and baby blankets must be new. Your donations can be dropped off in the collection box in the Chapel Foyer.

Fact: Did you know that today one in every five children in Massachusetts is living in poverty? This is a staggering statistic that only begins to tell the story. For the majority of these children, graduating from high school offers them their best opportunity to escape living in poverty as an adult. In order to break the cycle of poverty, we know we have to give these children all the tools they need to assist them in their education. One of these is simply a good bed.
