Somerville Homeless Coalition "Finding everyone a home"
Fighting homelessness, eviction and food insecurity for 40 years!

In 1985, our local community created the SHC in a grassroots effort to address the social crisis of homelessness. Neighbors, community activists, university students, faith-based leaders, business supporters, and city officials united to make the SHC's first endeavor -- the city's first emergency shelter for homeless adults -- a reality.

We’re OPEN! 🎉

At long last we’re thrilled to throw open the doors and welcome our clients to our new Summer Street Engagement Center!

Harnessing decades of experience, our new space is customized for a safer and more welcoming client experience while maintaining our same wraparound services focused on finding homes for our neighbors experiencing homelessness.

We have reunited our team for the first time in years and expanded our Engagement Center, improving the experience and enhancing our services! Our optimized environment brings together our administrative offices, Eviction Prevention and Street Outreach teams, as well as Case Managers, along with our daytime, drop-in program; our Engagement Center.

Please join us in celebrating this milestone! If you’re feeling the love you are welcome to donate or sign up to join our Meal Train! Link in bio! 💙

athenahealth showed up to show off some serious kitchen skills; slicing & dicing with a smile and cooking delicious food for our neighbors at our Monday Night Meal!

From volunteering at Monday night Meals to building 400 baskets filled with stuffing, cranberry sauce, gravy and other ingredients for a yummy and full holiday meal last November; athenahealth has shown up for our community time and again offering generosity and a warm, dignified experience for our neighbors.

Thank you, athenahealth! 💙

Project SOUP is proud to have been awarded a Greater Boston Food Bank Healthy Pantry Seal of Approval for 2026!

This reflects our commitment to providing nutritious food and creating a welcoming, dignified and client-centered pantry experience.

We’re grateful to our tireless volunteers, generous donors and the community partners who helped make this award possible! We share this honor with you. Thank you all and thanks to The Greater Boston Food Bank!

We owe a thank you to members of the Somerville Community Baptist Church who donate food, their kitchen and their time to hand out food to their neighbors at our Monday Night Meals several times a year.

If you don’t already know: our food pantry, Project SOUP hosts meals nearly every Monday night. We’re grateful for support from local restaurants, and yet there is something especially heartwarming when neighbors directly uplift one another. This time it was chicken, corn, salad, potatoes, gravy, and cookies for dessert; classic, comfy cookout spread served indoors. Thank you SCBC! 💙

Feeling inspired? You can volunteer to cook, hand out meals, join our meal train or learn about our client’s needs at the link in bio!

Thank you Rotary Club of Somerville for supporting our clients at our East Somerville food pantry with a delivery of 135 POUNDS of food! 💙

We’re honored to receive the results of such a successful food drive - this is the single largest private donation of food our team at Project SOUP has received and it couldn't come at a better time!

We’re grateful that the Rotary Club of Somerville is there to help us ensure our neighbors can access enough food to lead a healthy, happy life.

Our neighbors at Republic Fitness just wrapped up a drive to benefit our clients at Project SOUP. Filling two boxes to the brim with hygiene items is no easy lift but they flexed some serious muscle and hit a new personal record! 🏋️‍♂️

All puns aside: thank you, Republic Fitness for making sure our neighbors visiting Project SOUP can do so with dignity and with confidence that their basic hygiene needs are met. 💙

At our food pantry Project SOUP, we always say we can’t do what we do without our community’s support! 💙

Closing out Volunteer Month with a party to show our appreciation seemed like the least we could do and it turned into a wonderful gift for everyone who came!

Special thanks to our SOUP team for making it all come together: the day-to-day operations, receiving deliveries, stocking shelves, delivering bags of groceries, and just showing up (even on the cold, rainy Monday morning deliveries!). You do it all and still find time to deliver a great party!

Construction is underway! 🏗️

Our friends at Rockland Trust took the time to walk through the space that will soon become our new Engagement Center and program and administrative offices.

Thank you Rockland Trust for your longstanding and generous support!

We all know a good neighbor is there when you need help, but a great neighbor checks in and makes sure you know you’re supported! Thanks for checking in Rockland Trust!

A toothbrush, some shampoo, deodorant or soap.

These can feel small until you don't have them.

Saint Eulalia Parish, Wi******er, MA organized a toiletries drive for our neighbors experiencing homelessness.

They know dignity sometimes comes in small packages. Thanks for delivering it! 🧴
