Don't Miss Heading Home's 2012 Housewarming Event on May 3
Last year Heading Home's 2011 Housewarming event united Greater Boston’s finest chefs, business leaders, and philanthropists for a spectacular evening that raised more than $600,000 to benefit Heading Home’s mission to end homelessness.
Among the evening’s speakers was 14-year-old Manuel, who spoke movingly about his family’s struggle with homelessness and how Heading Home provided his family with the tools they needed to achieve self-sufficiency and remain permanently housed. In closing, Manuel shared his feelings of profound gratitude: “For me, Heading Home means seeing my mom smile again, and this makes me happy.”
