Causes: Homeless & Housing, Human Services
Mission: Mission of Deeds is a nonprofit volunteer-based organization that provides purchased beds, donated furniture and basic household items, free of charge, to the previously homeless and others in great need. Mission of Deeds was created after its founder, Tony Triglione, realized that people in need often lacked essential home necessities - beds to sleep on, or a table to eat at. Many slept on the floor or ate off milk crates. Tony identified then what remains a problem today - even if housing for the disadvantaged can be found, assistance in making a home functional, livable and stable is scarce. This is our sole purpose at Mission of Deeds and we are one of only a few organizations supporting greater Boston, and Middlesex and Essex Counties of Massachusetts that is focused on this critical niche.
Results: Since we began, Mission of Deeds has furnished more than 14,500 homes. We are an integral part of our area’s human service sector. We have built relations with over 450 social services agencies that evaluate client needs and provide our referrals. In addition, we have developed a large corps of volunteers. In 2021, Mission of Deeds met all our stated goals. We helped 1,403 people in need. We provided, free of charge, 869 beds (mattress, box spring and frame; bunk bed frame and two mattresses, crib with mattress), 4548 pieces of furniture (dining tables, chairs, sofas, bureaus, lamps, desks, end tables, bookcases, etc. ), 941 bags of linens (sheets, towels, pillows, blankets, etc. ) and 1360 boxes of kitchen items (dishes, glassware, pots, pans, utensils, toasters, coffee makers, cookie sheets, etc. ). Mission of Deeds is proud that everyone who came to us for help received all the furniture needed to maintain a functional, stable and permanent home, and was treated with respect, dignity and compassion.
Target demographics: people in need
Direct beneficiaries per year: 565 homes furnished
Geographic areas served: Middlesex and Essex Counties of Massachusetts, and the Suffolk County communities of Chelsea, Revere and Winthrop
Programs: beds, furniture and household items, free of charge
