For more than 100 years we have also supported various youth sports teams in Hingham, Hull, Quincy, and Weymouth.

Community participation often calls for heightened involvement. The programs we lean into include:

Plant. Grow. Share.

Since 2010, Keohane, Interfaith Social Services, and the Weymouth Food Pantry have collaborated to bring fresh food to those in need. We give away seedlings; plant vegetable gardens at our own facilities; donate the produce to local food pantries; and encourage backyard gardeners in the community to join us. As part of this initiative, we sponsor gardening workshops where participants are sent home with organic tomato seedlings and the know-how to nourish them. 

Winter Coat Drive

In November 2012, we held our first coat drive, encouraging people to donate gently worn outerwear. We found a valuable partner in Dependable Cleaners, who graciously cleans each coat. Wellspring Multi-Service Center in Hull, Interfaith Social Services in Quincy, and Weymouth Youth and Family Services in Weymouth distribute the winter wear. Since our first collection of 250 coats, we now regularly collect and give away more than 400 coats annually.
