Our annual spring Soirée is an elegant evening filled with food, music, and gratitude for our network of friends, allies, and partners. Please join us to learn more about our mission and support thriving children, thriving families, and thriving communities!
This year’s theme focuses on Moments That Matter. Moments that don’t make headlines. Moments that rarely announce themselves. Moments that, over time, change everything. At Elizabeth Peabody House, we see those moments every day:
Eager students listening to a volunteer read a favorite story
A relieved caregiver finding out they can afford childcare
A hungry family sharing a meal after picking up weekly groceries
A delighted child discovering a new interest or passion
These moments build connection. These moments create stability. These moments unlock new possibilities. These are theMoments that Matter.
