Abby’s House accomplishes its work with broad and solid grassroots support – nearly half of our operating budget is provided by individuals and community groups. About 200 trained and dedicated volunteers join our small paid staff to provide a lifeline of programs and services for women and children living in poverty. We are in this for the long haul, and we invite you to join us in our commitment to empower women to lead self-directed lives filled with dignity and hope.

Abby's House provides public education on the issues affecting the women we serve through speaking engagements in the greater Worcester area.  If you are interested in booking a speaker please call Edla Bloom at (508) 756-5486 ext. 35.

Thank You, Hewlett Packard in Marlboro!

Volunteers from the Business Critical Service division of Hewlett Packard did an amazing job of sprucing up the courtyard at 52 High Street, among many other projects this spring.  Thank you to all who participated and generously donated their time to make Abby's House beautiful!
