Family Promise North Shore Boston aims to return newly homeless families to economic self-sufficiency, keeping families together during their time of homelessness and helping them through the process of finding support and housing.
TBA is part of a large network of Churches and Synagogues on the North Shore who host (house) and/or support the guests. TBA volunteers provide support to guests at Immanuel Congregational Church in Beverly four weeks per year for 4 days each week. We provide dinner, dinner-time staffing and overnight staffing. We have a passionate group of volunteers who actively participate in helping to improve the lives of these homeless families.
If you are interested in joining us or getting more info, please contact Arnie Cowan.
TBA is committed to being an inclusive, affirming community as well as to working for equal rights and dignity for all in our society. We participate each year in the North Shore Pride Parade and Pride Interfaith Service, as well as provide a vocal Jewish voice in the larger community in other events and actions.
TBA staff, rabbi and teachers work closely with Keshet. Keshet, which means “rainbow” in Hebrew, is a national organization that works for full LGBTQI+ equality and inclusion in Jewish life.
ECCO is a faith-based coalition of more than 37-member congregations that supports communities on Boston’s North Shore to more effectively live out their faith in justice, compassion, and the common good. TBA is an active member congregation, working on issues such as immigration, racial equality and raising the minimum wage.
This faith-based organization provides community-based support to individuals and families who have been uprooted by violence. RIM’s interfaith approach builds collaboration between community groups in order to provide support. TBA is part of the North Shore Cluster that works with local refuge families.
The BHRC serves as a resource to the City of Beverly and the public by providing education and support on human rights, diversity and inclusivity, with the goal of raising awareness and sensitivity to matters of human and civil rights. Members are appointed by the Mayor, and since its inception in 2016, Rabbi Adler has been active on the committee. Members of TBA have also gotten involved in its various programs and issues.
