2025 City Awake | Pack with Purpose: Winter Kits for Pine Street Inn

For over 50 years, Pine Street Inn has been a cornerstone in the fight to end homelessness across Greater Boston. Through permanent housing, emergency services, workforce development, and more, they support over 2,100 individuals every single day. Yet, far too many people still face the harsh reality of living on the streets.

As Pine Street Inn reminds us, “When people lose their homes, they often lose their connection to community.” This is your chance to help rebuild that connection.

Join us for a hands-on volunteer event where we’ll assemble winter care kits filled with essentials like hats, gloves, toiletries, and other cold-weather necessities for Pine Street Inn guests. You’ll also hear directly from Pine Street Inn staff about their powerful work to end homelessness and how your efforts make a real difference.

If you would like to further support this initiative, consider browsing our gift registry to purchase items that will go directly into the kits. You can also make a financial contribution by visiting our online donation page and selecting the amount you’d like to give. Be sure to include a note stating: “Donation towards City Awake volunteer event.”

Come build community, spread warmth, and be part of something meaningful.
