What We Do

Gift Program

Supporting Families in Critical Moments

Families facing unexpected hardships need help fast. We partner with schools and social service agencies to step in during those critical moments, offering support when it’s needed most. By working closely with social workers and listening to families’ stories, we understand their struggles and respond quickly—often within just a few days. Our goal is simple: to ease the weight of tough times, remind families they’re not alone, and help set them up for success as they work to get back on their feet.

Essential Help & Enrichment

From household essentials like beds, clothing, car repairs, and eyeglasses to opportunities like summer camps, driver education, and Chromebooks, our thoughtful grants bridge critical gaps and foster resilience, hope, and opportunity.

Swift, Impactful Outcomes

Unlike traditional social assistance programs, we bypass bureaucratic delays—collaborating directly with social workers and families to find immediate solutions that help stabilize crises and pave the way for future growth.

Support for Our Partner Organizations

Gifts that Matter supports our partner organizations through special projects and food drives. The focus of Gifts that Matter is to serve our community on the North Shore of Boston.

How It Works

We collaborate with social workers and families during tough times to grasp their specific struggles and immediate needs. Our program stands out for its speedy response. We typically get in touch with families within a few days to a week – not months. We know timing is everything.
