Breaktime

🍽️ Breaktime had the pleasure of hosting TQNC Boston 's Potluck + Community Food Drive at our Resource Hub yesterday! The goal of the evening was to provide direct support and community to those who need it most right now. TQNC was kind enough to donate some of the non-perishable food items collected to our young adults experiencing homelessness. We are incredibly grateful for our partnership with TQNC and their commitment to mutual aid and community organizing. 💙 #breaktimeboston #nonprofit #empowerment #homelessness #advocacy #community #resourcehub #partnerships #equity #breaktimehub #foodsecurity

🍂🦃 Last week, young adults at Breaktime came together for our Thanksgiving Lunch — an opportunity to share a meal with community and reflect on what we’re grateful for. The day was filled with delicious treats, fall beverages, and more. Associates also added their own messages to our Gratefulness Tree, creating a beautiful collage of hope and resilience. We are grateful for every young person who is part of Breaktime, and for everyone who makes this work possible. Thank you for being part of our community! 🧡 #breaktimeboston #nonprofit #empowerment #homelessness #advocacy #community #nyham #foodsecurity #equity #thanksgiving #breaktimehub

🏛️ Ending young adult homelessness requires action. This #NationalYouthHomelessnessAwarenessMonth, we’re spotlighting key legislative efforts in Massachusetts that address the root causes of housing insecurity: 🪪 MA ID Bill: Expands access to state IDs for unhoused young adults. ⚖️ Homeless Bill of Rights: Protects the civil rights of people experiencing homelessness. 🏠 Improving RAFT: Strengthens homelessness prevention programs for those at risk. When government, advocates, and communities work together, systemic change becomes possible. Help us continue pushing for policies that create lasting pathways out of homelessness. #breaktimeboston #nonprofit #empowerment #homelessness #advocacy #community #nyham #nyhampartners #equity #hiddenhomelessness #breaktimehub

When people picture homelessness, they often imagine just one type of experience. At Breaktime, we recognize the reality is far more complex. Young adults experience housing instability for many different reasons, and no two journeys are alike. This November, we’re breaking down myths around homelessness to build deeper understanding and empathy. 🔗 Learn more about how you can directly impact young adults experiencing homelessness at breaktime.org/volunteering. #breaktimeboston #nonprofit #empowerment #homelessness #advocacy #community #nyham #nyhampartners #equity #hiddenhomelessness #breaktimehub

Hunger and housing insecurity are deeply connected. When young adults don’t have stable housing, access to food becomes even harder. With potential new restrictions to SNAP and other benefits, many are at risk of losing the support they rely on. 🥫 This Hunger & Homelessness Awareness Week, join the movement to end food and housing instability. Breaktime is now accepting food donations for our Resource Hub, especially non-perishables and shelf-stable items. To donate, please email grace.lackey@breaktime.org. #breaktimeboston #nonprofit #empowerment #homelessness #advocacy #community #nyham #nyhampartners #equity #hiddenhomelessness #breaktimehub
