Happy New Year from all of us at the Homeless Prevention Council!

As we enter our 29 th year of service, we have so much to be grateful for in the past year, and many hopes for 2020. Thank you to all of the wonderful donors and volunteers who helped make our 2019 Adopt a Family program a great success. We were thrilled to provide 272 children from 133 families with gifts to make their holidays happy! We are thrilled to share more news about our staff. First, Maggi Flanagan celebrated 20 years with HPC in November. Maggi has done so much to advance our mission at HPC. We are so lucky to have her dedication, knowledge and energy as we grow and expand our services. We’re also thrilled to introduce Ella Lynch, who joined the Case Management team full time in November. Ella will be providing opportunities for our staff and clients to take yoga—and you can see her every Tuesday at the Family Pantry of Cape Cod. Congratulations Maggi, and welcome to HPC Ella! We’re so lucky to have you both on our team. All the best to you and yours,

Hadley Luddy, Executive Director

Rock to Stop Homelessness was a success! Our Rock to Stop Homelessness event on November 16th raised over $29,000 to help prevent homelessness in our community. A huge shout out to Hog Island Beer Co. for hosting the event! We would also like to thank all of our event sponsors, silent auction donors, and our main entertainment for the evening, The Broughams! Adopt-a-Family is all wrapped up! Our Adopt-A-Family Program had a another successful year! Through the help of individuals and group within our community, we were able to make the holidays brighter for 272 children from 133 families in our community. There are not enough words to express how grateful we are to the over 40 volunteers from near and far who helped coordinate family information, wrap gifts, assemble bikes, manage family pickup and move countless items, no matter what the weather was like outside! Maggi Flanagan: 20 Years at HPC! Program Director and Case Manager, Maggi Flanagan, has been at HPC for 20 years! Throughout her years at HPC, Maggi has provided guidance and support to countless clients and fellow Case Managers, and we are so lucky to have her continued knowledge and energy in our office and in our community. Thank you Maggi! A warm welcome to Case Manager, Ella Lynch! We're excited to welcome Ella Lynch to our team of Case Managers here at HPC.
