Hearth is excited to announce on November 5th, 2019 we will honor Eastern Bank at our annual Celebration and Award Gala at the Four Seasons Hotel Boston. The evening will also include festive food and cocktail pairings and a House Warming Drive to directly benefit the residents and clients of Hearth as they move into their new homes.

We are grateful to recognize Eastern Bank as this year’s recipient of the Anna Bissonnette Award for their tireless work to ensure that neighbors across Massachusetts have equal access to food, employment, education, child care, basic necessities, and particularly a place to call home. Eastern Bank’s dedication to those most marginalized by society truly exemplifies the spirit of this award’s namesake, Anna Bissonnette. This commitment has directly impacted the lives of hundreds, if not thousands of our homeless, formerly homeless and at-risk clients and residents throughout our 28-year history.

 This year’s Gala will also include opportunities to directly meet with Hearth staff to hear about their work as we end elder homelessness for almost 600 elders a year. This is a wonderful and interactive way to learn how the proceeds from the event will aid our efforts to end and prevent homelessness for adults over the age of 50 living in Boston. 

Commitments made by October 22nd, 2019 will be printed in the invitation, and program booklet, and will be listed on our website. Click here to learn more about sponsorship opportunities, what they include, and print deadlines. 

Can’t make it to the Gala and still want to participate, Then donate to our non-traditional auction and help make a house feel like home. Hearth’s House Warming helps formerly homeless elders furnish their homes with brand new home good items, easing their transition from homeless to housed.
