Festival of Trees

Thank you to everyone who joined us in-person on Friday December 3rd at the Hingham Community Center and/or virtually on Saturday December 4th. We are excited to report that we raised over $15,500! 

Over 30 beautifully decorated trees and dozens of items, which were made up of donations by individuals, groups, and businesses, were on virtual display to the public and available for auction. The money raised during this two-day event benefits the Friends of the Homeless of the South Shore and the Hingham Women's Club Scholarship Fund.

Sometimes it's fixing a car, a shared cup of coffee, or an Uber ride to an appointment that prevents homelessness again.

For less than $250, we can replace two tires so a mom can get to work reliably...
For less than $125, we can pay for a course that helps a mom get a better job...
For less than $20, we can pay for a taxi to an interview...
For less than $5, we can pay for coffee and start a much needed conversation with a counselor...
 The Hingham Women's Club Scholarship Fund awards scholarships to high school seniors residing in Hingham who will be entering an accredited college/university for a two- or four-year course of study.  We will award three $2,000 scholarships to students who are Hingham residents. 

​The Friends of the Homeless of South Shore provide tremendous services to our local families in need.  Last year we were able to donate $10,000 to this amazing local organization. The funds raised at Festival of Trees for Friends of the Homeless of the South Shore are used in a myriad of ways to support homeless families.
