Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program

http://www.bhchp.org

Since its founding in 1985, Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program has been guided by a simple mission - to provide and assure access to the highest quality health care for individuals and families experiencing homelessness. BHCHP is an integrated team of over 600 medical and behavioral health staff, social service providers and support staff committed to ensuring and delivering equitable and dignified access to comprehensive, high-quality health care for individuals and families experiencing homelessness in Boston and beyond. At our 30+ clinic sites in shelters and hospitals, our medical respite program and on the streets, we provide medical care, behavioral health care, youth and family services and case management to nearly 10,000 individuals (adults and children) every year. And we serve as an innovator and thought leader at the intersection of health care and homelessness, and share our research and model of care with hospitals, medical and other allied health professional schools, public agencies and other homeless programs, locally and nationally.

We couldn’t have asked for a better way to mark Sox for Socks’ 20th anniversary this year! Our staff and volunteers were at Fenway Park earlier this month collecting socks during the Red Sox sweep of the Astros. To everyone who came with socks and donated cash during the games at our tables, we applaud your generous spirit and continued support to help our patients live with comfort, dignity and health.

A special shoutout to our incredible partners, the Red Sox Foundation, NESN, and Gentle Giant Moving Company, for their longstanding dedication to BHCHP’s mission to provide high quality health care to people experiencing homelessness in Boston. This beloved sock drive is 20 years strong because of you – we're immensely grateful and proud of this effort!

Throwing it way back to 2006 ⏰🧦 That’s when Sox for Socks kicked off at Fenway Park after a year of planning and when our amazing partnership with Gentle Giant Moving Company began!

From donating boxes to hauling mountains of socks in their trucks, Gentle Giant has been with us since day one. Thanks to them (and you), we’ve collected thousands of pairs of socks for our community members who need them most.

We’re celebrating 20 years of Sox for Socks this summer! Catch us back at Fenway this Friday till Sunday, collecting new white adult socks. Let’s keep the streak alive ❤️

If you’re not able to make it in-person but would like to donate so we can buy socks for our patients, please visit our website. https://bit.ly/46Z31tt

Last week, our satellite clinic at St. Francis House, Boston hosted an opportune health fair that featured educational tabling and foot care services such as foot spa, pedicures, foot masks, and more. One of our regular visitors, Roshawn, shared a particular story when our staff helped him through his foot health issues by always having a fresh pair of socks ready.

Clean socks are essential to maintaining proper foot hygiene and for many people experiencing homelessness, these socks can make a lasting difference in their health. As we get ready for the upcoming Sox for Socks weekend, we hope you can consider bringing these in-kind donations to Fenway Park!

Please share this announcement with your friends, family, and colleagues who might be visiting Fenway from August 1-3. We’re excited to be back and ring in another productive sock drive with your help. To learn more about the event, please visit our website. https://bit.ly/46Z31tt

As always, we're grateful to our event partners: Red Sox Foundation, NESN & Gentle Giant Moving Company.

Help us kick off our Sox for Socks weekend by starting a day early and bringing sock donations to the July 31 Movie Night screening of Elf at Fenway Park! 🧦🎬

We’re so grateful to Red Sox Foundation for enabling us to be part of this fun, family-friendly event and we hope to see you there with your donations of new, white adult cotton socks.

All socks collected will be shared with our patients across 30+ sites and although this might seem like a small gesture of support, the socks make a big difference. Socks are one of the most requested essential items by our unhoused patients.

We’ll see you at Gate A with your socks in hand! Get your tickets for the movie night here. https://atmlb.com/33zXVRA
