Pine Street Inn

Thank you to Mayor Michelle Wu , U.S. Senator Ed Markey, State Representative John Moran, City Councilor John FitzGerald, Nikita Zadorov of the Boston Bruins and all our #Thanksgiving volunteers for joining us today to assemble 150 outreach bags and help make those we support feel special. Thank you for being part of Pine Street Inn’s community and for all you do to support us throughout the year.

Happy #Thanksgiving to everyone! We want all of Pine Street's guests to feel welcome and part of a community today and every day. That’s why we go the extra mile to prepare a delicious, traditional Thanksgiving meal cooked with love. Please check back throughout the day for photos and videos of the festivities.

Thank you to Feast & Fettle and your members for donating 150 Thanksgiving meals to help make this a memorable holiday for tenants in Pine Street housing and for their financial contribution to help end homelessness. Your continued support means the world to our community!

A huge thank you to Columbia Threadneedle Investments for organizing a fun mini-golf-themed Thanksgiving food drive for Pine Street Inn tenants. Many community members face food insecurity during the holiday season. We appreciate your creative approach to helping tenants have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Thorice's life took a sharp turn when his wife passed away, and he became homeless. At Pine Street, staff provided him with the resources needed to help rebuild his life. Now in an apartment of his own, Thorice has a community he can depend on. Read his story: https://ow.ly/KWCv50Xuo6Q

Each year, as the temperatures drop, hundreds of people find themselves living on the streets in dangerous conditions. Pine Street’s winter warming centers at the Men's Inn and Yawkey House provide a safe, warm and clean space for everyone in need of shelter — 24 hours a day/7 days a week.
