Keeping you up to date on the many ways Beverly Bootstraps provides critical resources to families and individuals so they may achieve self-sufficiency.

One of our programs that typically gets little attention, except if you have a child in it, is Summer Camps. If it weren't for the generous support from several area camp programs and donors, our clients' children would not be able to enjoy this traditional summer past time.

We thank the following camps for enabling these children to have the same memory making experiences as so many of their peers:

How you can help:
Families and Groups can give back
You are always needed to help get toiletry bags and snack bags ready. This is a great way to teach children or employees about giving back. You can shop for and purchase the contents, then bring them here to take a tour and prepare the bags.
Your group can also help the Thrift Shop get merchandise ready to go on the sale floor.
And now that the Weekend Food Bag is rolling out to all Beverly Public Schools, you can also help prepare these bags.
Please email Volunteering@BeverlyBootstraps.org for more information or to schedule a time.
