✨ Celebrating 10 Years of Ruth Kelley Ummi’s House ✨

For a decade, Ruth Kelley Ummi’s House (RKUH) has been a place of hope, healing, and second chances for women in recovery and their children. Named in honor of Dimock’s former Chief Behavioral Health Officer, Ruth Kelley, the program offers safe housing, essential resources, and the tools families need to thrive.

Director Pam Andrade, herself a graduate of Dimock’s recovery programs, leads with compassion and strength: “I wanted to help women and families in recovery, just like me.”

The impact shines through in stories like Helena’s, a current resident whose journey embodies the heart of RKUH. She’s rebuilding her life with strength and determination: pursuing education, reconnecting with vital supports, and shaping a brighter future for herself and her son, Bentley.

And Bentley is thriving too—curious, talkative, spontaneous, and growing into his joyful, vibrant personality surrounded by a community that cheers him on. As Helena puts it, “It’s such a supportive program. It’s been an important part of my journey and a great bonding place for me and my child. You still have your own space, but you can really connect. Overall, it’s just a really positive experience.”

Partner support has been essential in making this possible. Thanks to organizations like the Franklin Square House Foundation, whose generosity helped fund a new roof and skylights, RKUH continues to provide a safe, welcoming environment for families to heal and grow.

Here’s to 10 years of breaking barriers, nurturing families, and building brighter futures.💜

The annual Pitch In and Give Back event is a wonderful example of what partnership and generosity can do!

This year, we’re especially thankful that so many of the 25,000 meals packed by incredible volunteers from Takeda, using meals provided by End Hunger NE will directly support the Dimock Food Pantry and the families we serve.

And a heartfelt thank you to our longtime partners at the Red Sox Foundation for organizing this event year after year. We’re truly grateful for everyone who continues to show up for our community. 💙

📚 This week, we join the nation in celebrating American Education Week, a time dedicated to recognizing the vital role of education in strengthening our communities and shaping the future.

At The Dimock Center, we believe that education begins long before a child enters kindergarten. Through our high-quality Head Start and Early Head Start programs, we nurture curiosity, confidence, and a love of learning from the very start because every child deserves a strong foundation.

This week and every week we honor the educators, families, and partners who make learning possible, and we reaffirm our commitment to ensuring that every child has the opportunity to learn and grow in a safe, supportive, and inspiring environment.

This past week, we celebrated Compliance Week at Dimock with a superhero theme—bringing learning and laughter together through games, trivia, and prizes! 🎉

Throughout the week, the Compliance & Risk Management Department encouraged staff to complete the Compliance Pulse Check Survey anonymously to help gauge Dimock’s current compliance culture and alignment with the 7 Elements of an Effective Compliance Program, as outlined by the Office of Inspector General (HHS). Staff also had the chance to win individual prizes for their participation! 🦸‍♀️

At Dimock, compliance isn’t just about policies—it’s about protecting our patients, residents, students, families, and each other. 💙

Thank you to all of our staff who participated and helped strengthen our shared culture of integrity, accountability, and care.
