Youth & Family Programs

Beverly Bootstraps provides year-round services to local children and families in need. Our Youth & Family programs focus on connecting families with the tools they need to achieve self-sufficiency. We provide children with school supplies to start off the academic year, calculators for high-level math classes and a holiday gift program for families.

Youth & Family Programs offered for families living in our North Shore service area.

At Beverly Bootstraps, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to succeed—regardless of their family’s financial situation. Our organization provides vital support to families year-round, including access to nutritious food so children can focus on learning rather than hunger.

To further support children’s growth and academic success, we offer a variety of seasonal programs throughout the year. These include backpacks filled with school supplies, calculators to help students thrive in math, and holiday gifts to bring joy during the holidays. These programs are designed to relieve financial stress for parents and ensure every child has the tools and confidence they need to learn, grow, and feel valued.
