Volunteers make moments like this possible!

This National Volunteer Week, we’re celebrating the power of community—and the familiar faces that make Dimock feel like home. ❤️

Last week, volunteers from the Red Sox Foundation and Takeda came together for an Opening Day Red Sox Luncheon to serve a delicious meal to Dimock residents, catered by a local restaurant. The afternoon was filled with shared stories, laughter, and meaningful connections around the table.

Volunteers also had the opportunity to visit Dimock’s food pantry and see our new industrial freezer, generously donated by the Red Sox Foundation and Takeda—an investment that will support our community for years to come.

We are so thankful to the Red Sox Foundation and Takeda for another amazing iteration of this beloved event and for their continued partnership and commitment to our community.

As Boston Marathon® weekend begins, we’re excited to spotlight the final member of Team Dimock as we count down to the 130th Boston Marathon, happening this Monday, through the Boston Marathon Bank of America Charity Program! 💙🏃‍♀️

As a pharmacist, she sees every day how essential accessible health care is—making her run for Dimock especially meaningful. Supporting our mission to provide whole-person care for individuals and families across Boston is deeply aligned with her values.

Her running journey began years ago, and over the past year she’s rediscovered her love for the sport, taking on new races and new challenges. After months of training, she’s now ready to take on 26.2 miles this Marathon Monday.

While running with Team Dimock, she’s working to raise $8,000 for The Dimock Center. Every gift helps her reach the start line while strengthening access to essential health services for our community.

🌟 We’re celebrating the Week of the Young Child! 🌟

This week, we celebrate the joy, curiosity, and potential of young children—and the critical role early experiences play in shaping lifelong learning and wellbeing. From homes and classrooms to neighborhoods and community spaces, every environment matters.

At The Dimock Center, we’re proud to support young children through our Head Start and Early Head Start programs by providing high‑quality early learning experiences that nurture curiosity, confidence, and growth.

Beyond the classroom, we support families with essential resources like clothing, diapers, and other basic needs, helping ensure children have what they need to learn and thrive.

The Week of the Young Child® is a time to recommit to creating a community where every child has the best possible start in life—and to celebrate the programs, educators, and families who make a difference every day. 💙🙌

It’s Black Maternal Health Week!

Black Maternal Health Week reminds us that maternal care doesn’t begin or end with childbirth—it begins with whole‑person care.

At The Dimock Center, we support Black mothers through OB/GYN, prenatal, and postpartum care, while also offering them behavioral health, primary medical, dental, and eye care. We even offer pediatric care for their children and connect the whole family to vital community supports, such as help accessing diapers and clothing, through our Resource Care program.

Because when we care for the mother as a whole person, we help build healthier families and stronger communities.

We’re proud to spotlight Dayo, one of five inspiring runners representing The Dimock Center in the 130th Boston Marathon® through the Bank of America Charity Program. 💙🏃🏾‍♀️

For Dayo, running Boston is more than a race—it’s a homecoming.

After living in Roxbury for seven years, Dimock became a trusted part of her life and a source of compassionate care for her family. Now, she’s running to give back to the very community that supported her.

Dayo began her running journey with Black Girls Run! in 2016 and has since completed eight marathons, including three World Marathon Majors. Today, as a run coordinator with BGR! Connecticut, leading group runs in Bridgeport, she helps other women achieve goals they once thought were out of reach.

Though she now lives in Connecticut, Boston still holds a special place in her heart. This race is about purpose, gratitude, and giving back.

Join us in supporting Dayo and the entire Team Dimock—every gift supports care for families in our community.

It’s National Public Health Week, but what is public health?

According to the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, while clinical medicine treats one patient at a time, public health focuses on preventing illness and injury across whole communities and populations. It looks for large‑scale, evidence‑based solutions that help people live longer, healthier lives.

In simpler terms, public health is about creating the conditions that keep people healthy before they ever need a doctor. It’s clean air and water, access to healthy food, safe housing, education, mental health supports, and systems that help everyone thrive—not just one person at a time.

At The Dimock Center, public health means meeting community needs at the root and working together to improve the conditions that affect our neighbors’ long-term well-being.

This National Public Health Week, we’re proud to be part of the work that protects, strengthens, and uplifts our whole community. 💙

We’re excited to spotlight Toby, one of five dedicated runners representing The Dimock Center in the 130th Boston Marathon® through the Boston Marathon Bank of America Charity Program! 💙🏃‍♂️

Toby is running the Boston Marathon to support our essential work providing comprehensive health, wellness, and community services to individuals and families in our community.

Toby’s running journey began in 2022, when he set out to achieve a lifelong dream: running the NYC Marathon. After completing a dozen races, including the five‑borough series, he earned his NYC bib in 2023. The experience inspired him to train harder and take on even more challenges, including the Chicago and Brooklyn Marathons in 2025. Now, he’s thrilled to be running Boston, and even more excited to do it in service of a great cause.

By supporting Toby, you’re helping fuel programs that promote wellness, expand access to care, and strengthen families and neighborhoods. Your generosity empowers Team Dimock to go the distance—not just on race day, but for the community they’re running for. 💙
