Victory Programs

Dignity in Action! A massive thank you to Financial Recovery Technologies’ True Colors Employee Resource Group for wrapping up 🏳️‍🌈 PRIDE month with incredible generosity! The team organized a dedicated Dignity Drive, donating over $500 worth of tampons alongside essential clothing and hygiene products to support our programs.

At Victory Programs, we believe that access to basic hygiene products and clean clothing is a fundamental right. These everyday essentials provide comfort, health, and dignity to individuals and families working hard toward stability and recovery.

Are you looking for a way your company can give back? Hosting an in-kind drive is one of the most immediate ways to support your local community. While the summer pressing on, we are looking ahead to our major holiday drives in the coming months! 🎁

If your workplace, civic group, or neighborhood wants to team up for a seasonal drive or get a head start on holiday giving, reach out to us today to learn how you can take part.

Thank you again, FRT True Colors ERG, for standing with us and fueling our mission!

Important updates about changes to the schedule at The Boston Living Center!

Important Update for our BLC Community!

Starting next week on Monday, July 20, the Boston Living Center will be transitioning to a new summer schedule.

Moving forward, our temporary summer hours will be:
Monday through Friday: 8:00 AM – 3:00 PM

Please note: Our Monday Night Dinner program is temporarily on hold and is planned to return in the Fall of 2026.

Victory Programs and The Boston Living Center want to ensure all of our members have plenty of time to plan their visits around these new hours. If you have any questions or need assistance during this transition, please reach out to our team at the front desk or call us directly at 📞 617-236-1012!

When a team shows up for your community not just once, but twice, you know they are truly invested. A huge shoutout to the amazing volunteers from Morgan Stanley for dedicating their time to support our kitchen and dining room at The Boston Living Center!

Preparing and serving lunch at the BLC is about so much more than the food on the plate—it’s about creating a welcoming space where our members feel seen, respected, and cared for. This team jumped right in with incredible energy, making sure our neighbors had a wonderful experience. Thank you for your continued partnership and dedication to hospitality!

Systemic Resilience Meets Immediate Relief: Facing the Summer Heat Crisis 🔥 Extreme summer heat has arrived in Massachusetts. For our neighbors experiencing homelessness or navigating early recovery, finding relief is a matter of immediate health and safety.

Our Chief Operating Officer, Alex Train, recently shared on LinkedIn a crucial perspective on why this is a critical public health crisis: "As climate change intensifies, extreme heat & destabilizing events impact our most marginalized communities first and most intensely... It’s commonly overlooked in climate resilience planning, and it requires a coordinated response."

At Victory Programs, we are tackling this challenge from both sides. We are actively investing in long-term climate resilience—decarbonizing our buildings and designing heat mitigation strategies so that extreme weather is simply an annoyance for our clients, not life-threatening.

But while we advocate for the long-term funding required to fix these systemic issues, our community needs relief today. Here is how you can partner with us right now to protect our neighbors:

Want to send immediate relief? Items like sunscreen, water bottles, and cooling towels are desperately needed on the front lines. You can purchase these directly through our Amazon Wishlist, and they will ship straight to our doors for immediate distribution. Shop our Amazon Wishlist in the comments below!

Want to scale your impact? Gather your friends or co-workers to host a summer donation drive like our partners at Life Science Cares did with a the team from Delphia! Email us at [email protected] to get started.
