GIVING + IMPACT

Collective well-being and social impact are at the core of our mission, and our efforts reflect that through consistent giving, resource sharing, outreach, and community-centered events. We host local gatherings that bring people together, offer support, and create safe, uplifting environments for connection, learning, and joy.

 

With the help of generous donations and strong partnerships, we’re able to reach more individuals and families—ensuring vital resources are accessible where they’re needed most. Every effort we make is driven by a deep commitment to building stronger, more supported communities.

Events + Outreach

Our events are more than just gatherings—they’re powerful opportunities to give back, build connection, and spark lasting change. Our most cherished nonprofit event is our annual marketplace, The Merry Market—a festive initiative that blends holiday cheer with our greater mission of giving back and supporting local small business.

Recipients

Our mission is rooted in compassion and responsiveness, meeting people across the South Shore where they are and offering help that truly makes a difference. From covering urgent needs to simply bringing a moment of joy, we believe even the smallest act of kindness can have a lasting impact.

Community Impact

When we support one family, share one resource, or uplift one individual, we set off a ripple effect that spreads throughout the community. These moments of care and connection grow into a powerful wave of impact, inspiring others to give, support, and show up. Together, our collective efforts create more compassionate communities where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

THOUGHTFUL GESTURE

This is for the person watching a loved one struggling and wanting them to feel the love and support not only from them but from the entire community. Depending on the nature of the adversity, AP2R will curate a special gift to remind the recipient that they are not alone. Our team will learn about the person or family experiencing challenges and collaborate with local businesses to create something both beautiful and practical. This is a wonderful opportunity for the community to come together and support their neighbors, and it has been very well received in the past.

DIRECT ASSIST

This is for those of us who face unexpected hardships and challenging times. Whether it’s due to job loss, mental or physical health struggles, the loss of a loved one, or other difficult circumstances, making ends meet—such as paying utility bills or buying groceries—can become nearly impossible. That's where our team steps in to help. You can submit an intake form for a Direct Assist either for yourself or on behalf of a friend or family member in need. In this effort, AP2R will leverage our network to share resources, connect you with other nonprofits, or provide monetary assistance. There is no shame in needing help from time to time, and AP2R can be that supportive safety net for you.
