Ellis Square Friends, located in Beverly, MA, was created with the intention of helping our less fortunate neighbors. Most of the people we help are the homeless population who assemble at Ellis Square. However, there are a few other people who benefit from our assistance as well. People who have extremely limited means, with whom we share surplus items. Our mission is to provide clothing, food, and whatever resources we can to help these people survive, and in some instances get off the streets. http://www.ellissquarefriends.com/
