Mr. Popper's Penguins

Money is tight and times are tough in the town of Stillwater.

But with the unexpected arrival of a spirited penguin named Captain Cook, a new horizon opens before them. As a quiet partnership expands into a boisterous flock, the Poppers learn that there’s no problem that can’t be solved with steady determination, lots of love, and a dash of unconventionality.

Get Social for a Good Cause

The Caritas Communities’ Young Leaders Group is pleased to invite you to join us for the 9th Annual “Get Social for a Good Cause” networking event. Where: <a href="https://castleislandbeer.com/south-boston/">Castle Island Brewery in South Boston</a> When: June 28, 2022, 6:00pm – 8:00pm All donations will go directly to provide essential items for those residents who live in poverty and were previously homeless. We often take for granted the simple necessities in life such as a toothbrush, shampoo, bedding, and a place setting, etc. Through your attendance and donation, we can make a huge difference in the lives of Caritas residents. Join us for a night of fun to socialize, network, and support our lowest-income neighbors. At Caritas, we believe secure housing, support, and a sense of community are the foundation of human dignity and lead to healthy, productive lives. Since 1985, we have provided safe, permanent housing for very low-income individuals living in Greater Boston.
