Heading 4 Home

Homelessness in Massachusetts is on the rise. With single moms and children representing the fastest-growing segment of the population and the region’s unaffordability and housing supply issues compounding the problem, it’s time to come together to address this critical issue.

That’s why the Massachusetts Coalition of Community Banks is aligning to help end homelessness by supporting the work of Heading Home and promoting that work during the 2023 Red Sox game broadcasts. Jim Mawn, President & CEO of Northern Bank & Trust, has kicked off this collaboration with Heading Home by donating the first $10,000. Secure your bank’s sponsorship spot while they’re still available and show your community that you care and are there to lend a hand when it’s needed most.
