Raise money for Italian Home for Children

Italian Home for Children is a nonsectarian organization that helps youth, adults, and families of all races, nationalities, and religious affiliations facing educational and behavioral health challenges. We offer children ages 4 to 18 a variety of care so that as their needs change, they can receive assistance in a setting where they already feel comfortable. Many come with some of the toughest behavioral health concerns professionals encounter, having survived abuse and/or have lost close family members due to illness, death, or incarceration. We help kids with nowhere else to turn, with services they often can only get here.

We’re a 105-year-old Boston non-profit that specializes in helping kids from all backgrounds with autism receive services that allow them to thrive in their communities. We offer day and residential programs alike. For example, we have the sole Neurodevelopmental Unit in Massachusetts. We are excited to run to raise money that could help us purchase art supplies for art therapy and toward upgrading our playground, which is 25 years old, worn, and outdated.
