We may not see it, but families in Melrose and surrounding communities are vulnerable and suffering financially. Your generous support to Housing Families will provide vital programs and services to assist families heal from trauma caused by homelessness. From the moment the pandemic hit, Melrosians have stepped up to ask "Who needs help, and how can I help?"
A special Melrose Together Fund has been created so that contributions may go to direct financial assistance such as heat, food, rent, and other crucial services. Your gift has real impact and helps with the important mission of Housing Families to end family homelessness.
If you are able, we recommend a recurring monthly donation to keep your generosity going. Every dollar goes directly to a crucial need- no matter how big or small.
Some options on where your donations can go…
$100/week groceries for family of 4
$250/month for electric and Heat
$1,000/month for rent
Make a direct impact from your family to theirs.
Step 1: Go to HousingFamilies.org/donate
Step 2: Select “Melrose Together Fund”
Step 3: Make it recurring monthly
Thank you, Melrose.
