The Acton Emergency Family Shelter is now closed.  All families have moved to their own apartment, and a few moved to the Concord shelter until they find something.

Thanks to all volunteers who provided English lessons, transportation and gave donations!

The AB Resource Center organizes English conversations for anybody from the Acton and Boxborough community (including former shelter residents) Monday-Thursday 1pm at the AB Resource Center, 15 Charter Road, Acton.  No sign-up needed, no regular schedule needed, just come when you can!

If you want to volunteer in these English conversations or at the AB Resource Center (which continues to provide information and free clothing to anybody from the Acton and Boxborough communities including former shelter residents), see more info here.
