A Caring Community Can Change Everything
MATS events bring our community together through meaningful connection, shared purpose, and collective generosity. Whether it’s enjoying a warm bowl of soup at a fundraiser or listening to the courageous story of someone who’s overcome housing instability, each gathering reinforces our commitment to ending homelessness in the Monadnock Region. These events not only raise vital funds—they also raise awareness, build empathy, and remind us that when neighbors come together, lasting change is possible.

Candlelit Vigil of Remembrance
On the longest night of the year, we gather in quiet unity to honor the lives of those in our community who passed away while experiencing homelessness. With candles in hand, we stand together to say their lives mattered, their stories mattered, and they will not be forgotten.
This vigil is a moment of reflection—of compassion, remembrance, and shared humanity. Your presence sends a powerful message that our region cares deeply for its neighbors. Your single light helps break the silence surrounding homelessness. Your support helps MATS continue the essential work of providing shelter, stability, and hope for a brighter future.
Join us on December 21 at 4pm at the Peterborough Town House.
Stand with us.
