Human to Human supports outreach programs that provide direct service to community members facing economic, social support, and service challenges.

It is a direct action ministry of the Episcopal Diocese of Western Massachusetts. We are called by the Gospel to the margins of society, and this work is designed to fulfill that call.

While the work is inspired by the teachings of Jesus, we do not preach, we do not evangelize, and no religious participation is required to be part of our communities.

Human to Human is grounded in the deep belief that by acting with pure love we can help to change the nightmare of so many into the dream that God has for us. It is grounded in the deep belief that everyone deserves to be loved and accepted and welcomed as we are, even at our worst.

This message is life-changing. When you start believing it, that you are loved, and that you matter, that you are valued and that your future matters to God and the community that loves you, lives are changed.

We try to collapse the wall between ‘us’ and ‘them’ and see those we serve as people first. And when we feel that way, even as a volunteer, then the people we serve feel that way, too.
