On Monday, we welcomed an incredible group of volunteers from Sanofi to The Dimock Center! 💚

As longtime supporters of our mission, Sanofi team members rolled up their sleeves to help refresh the playground and green space at Ruth Kelly Ummi’s House, our residential program for women and children.

We’re so grateful for their time, energy, and commitment to creating a brighter, more welcoming space for the families we serve.

Thank you, Sanofi! 🌼✨

Eating fresh, seasonal produce is one of the best ways to fuel your body and support your health. Summer fruits and vegetables are packed with nutrients, flavor, and variety—and they can make every meal more colorful and delicious!

✨ Boost your nutrition with in-season favorites like berries, tomatoes, leafy greens, and corn
✨ Save money by buying what’s growing now
✨ Get kids involved by picking out fruits and veggies and helping in the kitchen
✨ Try new recipes using fresh ingredients you already have on hand

WIC participants can make the most of their benefits with helpful tools like the Seasonal Produce Guide, WIC recipe ideas, and tips for storing or freezing produce to reduce waste.

In observance of Juneteenth, all outpatient services at The Dimock Center will be closed on Thursday, June 19. Services will resume on Friday, June 20.

Juneteenth marks a powerful moment in Black history. On June 19, 1865—more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation—enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas were finally informed of their freedom by Union troops.

This day stands as a reminder of delayed justice and the enduring strength, resilience, and legacy of Black Americans.

Wishing everyone a joyful Juneteenth from The Dimock Center!

For Stephaney, teaching is not just a job, it’s her purpose. 📚💙

A beloved Head Start teacher at The Dimock Center for the past 13 years, Stephaney says teaching isn’t a choice, it’s a gift. 💝 And the greatest reward? Seeing her students grow.

"I’m blessed because I get to see how the lives of each of these children develop and what they become, that's what makes me happy. That's what makes me smile."

Thank you, Stephaney, for shaping the lives of countless Dimock students, and for the immense care you bring to each child you teach. We are so lucky to have you!

Big thanks to our incredible volunteers from Alkermes who joined us this week for a service day to remember!! 💙

These dedicated volunteers—some longtime supporters of Dimock—rolled up their sleeves to refresh the indoor and outdoor play spaces for our early childhood programs.

Their hard work helped beautify and enrich the environment that our littlest community members learn, play, and grow in. From creating our very own “Green Monster” to building immersive sensory walls for kids to explore, this big-hearted group of volunteers made a BIG impact on our community.

We’re so grateful for their continued partnership and support. Thank you, Alkermes! 💐
