All Hands on Deck at the BLC! ⚓️🇺🇸🦁
The incredible energy from the Sail 250 celebrations continued last night right here at The Boston Living Center! For Day 2 of our volunteer partnership, we were honored to welcome an amazing crew of both U.S. Navy Sailors and Marines to our program.
This team rolled up their sleeves to help our kitchen staff prep ingredients and serve our last Monday Night Dinner of the summer season. While these service members are just in town visiting for the historic fleet week celebrations, their hard work, dedication, and heart left a lasting impression on our community.
To make the evening even more unforgettable, our community was treated to a beautiful live performance by special musical guest and talented violinist, Samuel Lee, whose music brought an extra layer of warmth and peace to the dining room.
True dignity and healing thrive when community, care, and culture come together. We cannot thank these Sailors and Marines enough for their dedicated service to our country and for spending their evening helping us feed the hearts and souls of our BLC family.
As a reminder to our community, our Monday Night Dinner program is now on its summer break and is planned to return this September!

🇺🇸 Happy 4th of July from Victory Programs!
250 years ago, this nation was founded on the platonic ideals of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
❤️ 200 years later, in Boston, Massachusetts, one of this nation's oldest and most historic cities, two men carried on those ideals by establishing Victory House, the first of our programs still serving the community today. What began as a single program on Massachusetts Avenue more than 50 years ago has since blossomed into an expansive network of nearly 30 programs, all with a single mission: to provide housing, health, recovery, and hope to all those who seek them in the Greater Boston area.
💙 What is life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, if not a place to call home? A healthy mind, body, and spirit? A belief that greener pastures are just beyond the horizon? A second chance at a better life? Victory Programs’ mission is to ensure that life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness aren’t just ephemeral ideals written on some piece of paper, but a living, breathing reality that everyone has access to.
❤️ For 20% of our nation's history, over five decades, Victory Programs has stood on the front lines of care in Boston, adapting and leading when systems fall short. Through the AIDS epidemic, the opioid crisis, and the COVID-19 pandemic, Victory Programs was there to open our doors, and our staff was there to uplift the underserved. As we celebrate this holiday, we would like to acknowledge all the leaders who’ve brought us to this point, from our founders, Ted Cantone, John de Miranda, and Jonathan Scott, to the current President and CEO, Sarah Porter.
💙 This time in our nation's history is fraught with uncertainty about our future, but, like our founding fathers, we have hope that we will emerge on the other side of this crisis stronger than ever. With the continued dedication of our staff and support from our donors and volunteers, we will continue to provide hope, housing, and recovery until our nation reaches its next major milestone in another 50 years.
Let us know in the comments, what does "the pursuit of happiness" mean to you today?
