Pathway to a Better Life is excited to share their training schedule for the upcoming season of 2025-2026, and to ask for your support in making this year their best yet.

As they prepare for their 7th year of service, they want to highlight a sobering local fact: in Massachusetts, the homelessness rate is approximately 26.1 individuals per 10,000 residents, placing the state in the top ten nationally. 

If you are interested in volunteering please reach out to, myself, Lisa Trusas at 508-922-9032 or email and let me know which date you can attend training. Please share on social media and to your friends and family.

Wednesday, December 10th from 7pm-8:30pm

Thursday, December 30th from 9am-10:30am

If you know someone who is currently experiencing homelessness—or you come across someone in need—would you be willing to ask them to fill out the attached survey? The insights that are gathered from the community will help to tailor the program more effectively, reach more people, and provide the support that truly makes a difference.
