Hopkinton Emergency Fund

Who are we?

The Hopkinton Emergency Fund is a public, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to provide temporary emergency financial assistance to residents of Hopkinton through collaboration with existing local human services organizations.

Why are we needed?

While several human services organizations exist in Hopkinton whose missions are to assist those in need with food, clothing and other necessities, these local organizations have limited funds available to help clients pay bills for critical needs, such as health care, car repair, rent, etc. As a result, many people in Hopkinton who experience financial emergencies fall between the cracks. This often leaves service organizations unable to provide monetary assistance.

How does the process work?

Residents in need are identified by our partner human services organizations, then referred to us confidentially for evaluation. If the need is approved by the Fund, payment is made directly to the vendor who is performing the service for the person in need.
