Project Home Again distributes household goods, appliances and furniture to those in need in the Merrimack Valley. Through their social workers, clients can come to our warehouse and select what they need for their homes free of charge. We depend on donated items from the community to fill our warehouse and monetary donations to purchase basic necessities that are hard to keep in stock. Each month hundreds of families benefit from our agency. Many of these families have nothing and receiving your donated goods can transform their lives. Please help us to help those in need so that they can live more comfortably and with the knowledge that somebody cares.

  
There are children who slept on the floor last night because they have no bed. Mothers need pots and pans to help feed their families nutritious meals. You can help!

Some of our most urgently needs items are: sheets, blankets, towels, pots and pans, dishes, silverware, glasses, small kitchen appliances, dressers, beds, cribs, baby blankets and accessories, kitchen tables and chairs, and couches.

The Warehouse is closed for the summer.

In the Fall, Project Home Again is open to drop-off donations on:

Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 10am-12noon

Thursdays from 1pm-3pm

Check our website for more information and special weekend hours.

Anyone interested in or needing assistance from our Community Support Group, designed to help Temple members during an illness or death, by providing rides, helping with meal preparation, visiting isolated elderly members, etc., contact me or notify the Temple Office. A message will be relayed.

Bread & Roses is a soup kitchen in Lawrence, MA with a strong and rich tradition of being a center of hope and caring to the hundreds of people in the Merrimack Valley who are struggling for survival.  Founded in 1980, Bread & Roses' primary purpose is to ease the hunger of people in our community  by providing a well-balanced, nutritious evening meal.   All in need are welcome to our center to partake of a community meal in a peaceful, friendly environment.  Guided by a spirit of hospitality and nonviolence, respect for the dignity of each person who comes through the door is a hallmark of our community.   Since hunger relief is our main concern, there is no cost for the meal. Temple Emanuel prepares meals for Bread & Roses and also collects food and supplies.
