Great news for My Brother’s Keeper: our Dartmouth facility is officially up and running! We spent the beginning part of the summer laying the ground work: obtaining permits, equipping the offices, setting up the warehouse, installing our phone system, and making renovations to support our unique model of service.

We’ve obtained in-kind donations of equipment and professional services valued at about $75,000 so far. It’s been a great affirmation to witness so many community members step up so generously in their own special way: just to name a few, Plumb House in Milford is donating general contracting services, Inspired Technology in West Bridgewater donated phones services and the law firm of Murphy, Hesse, Toomey & Lehane in Quincy donated a server and computers for all the offices.

Since July 31st, our 3-person Dartmouth staff led by Josh Smith has been on-site daily with a group of dedicated volunteers making furniture pick-ups and deliveries. Once the building renovations are complete, the staff will broaden their focus to getting the word out about My Brother’s Keeper on the South Coast. They will be giving talks in the community, bringing groups in for tours and working hard to build a strong volunteer corps, especially as students return to school.

On Sunday September 29th, we will celebrate this wonderful, joyous milestone with a Blessing & Open House at our Dartmouth facility. Please join us as we make history! If attending, RSVP to info@mybrotherskeeper.org All are welcome.
