A huge THANK YOU to the Holyoke Elks Lodge 902 for hosting a Back to School Drive in support of Homework House! 💚📚

We are incredibly grateful for the amazing amount of school supplies donated. These supplies will help us refresh our classrooms and make sure they are stocked and ready to welcome our students back to Homework House when our afterschool program begins in September.

A special thank you to Shelly for helping organize the drive, and to everyone who donated and helped make it such a success. Your generosity and support of our students truly means so much to us.

We can’t wait to put all of these supplies to good use! ✏️📓🎒

Thank you, Holyoke Elks, for supporting Homework House and our students! 💚

What an incredible afternoon at Homework House!

Last week, we welcomed members of the Massachusetts State Police to spend time with our students. From an exciting drone demonstration to meeting Branch, the MSP Therapy K9, our students enjoyed a memorable experience while learning about the many ways law enforcement serves our communities.

The visit concluded with a very special check presentation from the Massachusetts State Police St. Patrick's Day T-Shirt Fundraiser. Thanks to the generosity of everyone who purchased a shirt and the dedication of the volunteers who promoted and sold them, Homework House received an amazing $22,247.50 to support our students and programs.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Lieutenant Detective Kevin O'Toole, the O'Toole family, the Massachusetts State Police, and all of the volunteers who continue to make this fundraiser such a tremendous success year after year.

Your support is helping create brighter futures for the children of Holyoke. ❤️📚
