The Shields Cares Crew was honored to volunteer with Father Bill’s & MainSpring as they prepare to open their newest supportive housing project—and second hotel-to-housing conversion—on April 1st in Stoughton.

It was an incredible opportunity for our team to get a firsthand look at these new housing units while helping make them feel like home. From setting up kitchens with dishes, pots, and pans to hanging shower curtains, every detail mattered in preparing for the arrival of new tenants.

This was truly a team effort, and we couldn’t be more proud of the Shields Cares Crew for supporting such meaningful work in our community. 💙
