The Synxis Boston Group along with two fellow Sabre employees, volunteered for a day at the Pine Street Inn for our Give Time Together Event on Thursday May 7th, 2009. Our team was divided into two groups.  One group worked in the kitchen, slicing and dicing vegetables, making sandwiches and preparing meals to be served and delivered to 12 other shelters. The second group worked on a cleaning facilities project. It was an incredibly enjoyable and rewarding experience. We are already looking forward to volunteering here again.

Founded in 1969, Pine Street Inn serves more than 1,300 homeless individuals daily and 10,000 annually, providing the full spectrum of services to help men and women reach their highest level of independence and get back to a place they can call home.

For many, the journey out of homelessness begins with shelter, nourishment and compassion and leads to stability – permanent housing, a job and self-sufficiency.

Pine Street Inn began its journey four decades ago, offering approximately 200 men suffering from alcoholism a safe alternative to the streets of Boston.

Since then, they have expanded to serve over 1,300 men and women each day, providing a comprehensive range of programs and services, including housing, outreach, shelter and job training. The ultimate goal for all of their programs is making permanent housing a real possibility for all.
