Building a New Rooftop Garden

We are moving forward to create the first rooftop vegetable garden in our neighborhood on The Boston Project's garage! We have a campaign to raise $15,000 during Summer/Fall 2011 to waterproof the roof, add stairs, install fencing, and build 20 raised beds. Contact Ben to volunteer or donate online.

Our New "Acts 2" Yard Sale

There is a powerful story in the biblical book of Acts of people selling their possessions to help those in need. The Boston Project is holding a GIANT yard sale May 27-28 to support our local families through programs and direct aid. We are now collecting donations of thousands of items to sell - furniture, household items, toys, electronics, good quality clothing, and more. Limited pick up for large quantity donations available. Contact Paul by email or call 617-929-0925.

Home Improvement Help

From March through August, we provide free volunteer help for families and seniors in the Dorchester and Mattapan community. Outdoor or indoor cleanup, painting projects and minor home repairs are within our services. Occasionally minor cost for supplies. No income requirements, but desire is to help those in need. Contact Keith by email or call 617-929-0925 for more information.
