For the past 25 years, Phillips Brooks House has collected gifts and donations during the holiday season for several community-based programs in Cambridge, Somerville, and Boston.  This holiday season, the House is launching a virtual giving drive to serve a wider variety of community needs during the winter months.

More than 40 Harvard-based departments and programs have generously supported Harvard’s holiday giving efforts.  Major collaborators and supporters of this program include Harvard Medical School, Memorial Church, Harvard Libraries, Office for the Arts at Harvard, and the Harvard University Retirees Association.

Community partners have a wide range of needs including books, sports equipment, games, toys, art supplies, toiletries, warm winter clothing, and canned food.  For those who wish to support this effort, visit the links below:

Please note that all purchases will be shipped directly to partner sites.
