CEOC's 60th Anniversary!
Why give to CEOC? For 60 years, we have been fighting poverty in our community. We run super-lean, so you know your gift has a direct, positive impact on the lives of your neighbors in need. We have leapt over many hurdles in our 60 year history, but this year has brought some of the most severe challenges yet. With your support behind us, we are confident we’ll be able to keep our food pantry full, fill the gaps, and continue to provide free assistance with housing, taxes, health insurance, financial education, and mental health.
This fall, in our 60th anniversary year, we have an ambitious goal: $60,000 raised from 600 different donors. Whether you can donate $6 or $60 or $6,000, your donation makes a difference. Join your neighbors in being one of our 600 contributors and show your Cambridge neighbors how much you care.

How will you commit to fighting poverty in Cambridge?
It's the 60th anniversary of CEOC's founding in 1965, and we're commemorating this anniversary with the theme of "Stronger Together." Real, lasting change takes all of us. It takes neighbors, partners, advocates, and champions who show up, speak out, and stand strong in the face of injustice. It takes all of us, working together, to end poverty. Making a contribution to CEOC is one way you can personally commit to fighting poverty in our community. Thank you for your support!
